i tried and tried and tried to post this yesterday and typepad said things like    You must enter a permalink for your post.   I have no idea what that means let alone know how to do that.    Am trying again.

this is what i look like first thing in the morning.  and really, a lot of the time.  You can see part of one of those little plastic butterfly hair clips at the top…a gift from Emrie.

    I SEE you ~ whoop whoop! I am paraphrasing part of your journal post of 6-7-2023: “suddenly there is music, rays of light, rainbows, shooting stars ~ in my heart”! Here is a phrase that I read this morning by Sarah Swett’s Substack “The Gusset” : “…believe we actually are allowed to have this much elemental fun in whatever way works”. link: https://tinyurl.com/59mb833b Absolutely ~ a core philosophy!
    My first Zoom experience, when I saw my own face, I could not stop giggling inside myself! The freedom from artifice, seeing one’s self as others do, was quite liberating, and the essence of that was what I saw ~ I’m comfortable in my own skin, I “came” as I am”. Almost a BYOB of freeing exuberance, along with everyone else. I’m with Saskia – like looking into a mirror, a good one with lots of light.

    You are such a beautiful woman, Grace. Your skin is soft, your eyes are seeking, your hair is adorned with a butterfly gift from a beloved winged girl child! Your thoughts are golden and magically seek beauty and truth.
