Mo and I are talking about “revealing” by scattering a few seeds at a time. Bear with me. This part is all new to me.

Oh, most gracious thanks, Marilyn. I am blushing! So deeply moved, humbled, and honored to be thought of in this way. You and Mo have been such inspiring beams of light for me and I am so grateful to have met you both in this space. Though miles and miles apart, you two are incredibly dear to my heart. I just can't tell you how thrilled I am that you are nearing the reveal of your book! It has been a long time coming, Lady, and what an achievement! So, giddy for YOU!!! Biggest hugs and MUCH LOVE! ~Wendy💜

Marilyn, I love that you have found your creative partner! That is what you have been to so many of us (me included) over the years, whether it be at ITP or through your therapy work. You help others see the order, the value, ask the questions that lead us to and through the creative process. Yes!

Mary, it humbles me to hear you say that—that we are all creative partners for each other. That is truly the way it should be. I love you and all your creative endeavors.

I have been waiting for this and it's such an honor to work with someone as talented and fun spirited as you and get to know you on a personal level too! 💓🌸

I've been trying to think of how to word what I want to say in a non clumsy way. It just proves how a collaboration between two artists can produce a work that's more whole than one persons effort as both bring differing perspectives to it.

Thank you, Jane. Nice to meet you. Not clumsy at all, but sometimes a bit of clumsy can be just what’s needed.

As much an honor for me. Like looking into a deep pool and seeing mirror images of ourselves?

Hello, again, Marilyn!

My heart did a flip when seeing your post! Have missed YOU! Have missed your wonderful posts as well! I must say, Mo and Mere are a delightful combination! Two fabulous women on your own, and a power team together! I am greatly anticipating the unveiling of your work all in one place! Do know that I'll be ready to add it to my library!

So love this post of connection, collaboration, and community. It breaths friendship, support, inspiration, trust, validation, love....all the BEST things! Truly a special accounting of you both and your connection to each other.

"All I knew was that I wanted to complete this collection of poems—my life’s work—in my lifetime." Following that pull is a special journey and I am so glad you are on it! All the best to you, to you and Mo, and sending every good vibe your way! It's so good to see you back here!

Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,

~Wendy💜
