As always your words and how they flow on the page continue to lead me to new places in my soul and life. Your words of your scars brought tears to my eyes for some reason. Perhaps because fresh wounds that are healing can be very sore and still cause pain and ‘older’ wounds that become scars are not physically painful but leave gaping tears and holes, and become emotional and psychological scars. Though there may be visible healing and bring forth new blessings and hope; their consistent presence and memories will remain forever inside the heart and soul. So many things to write about - as well as thoughts for your sister USAID and healing for all scars.
Thank you, Julie. I’m recovering from a new set of surgical scars gained last week. Writing with your prompt this morning is a blessing, a gift of grace and hope. Thank you. May your hand continue healing. And yes to USAID letters to my Congressional representatives! And prayers for your sister and her colleagues. ♥️
For ALL of this--including the devastation of USAID--thank you, Julie. I do hope the burn is healing properly, and it always-always brightens my day and life to think of you and to see you even briefly, as in Memphis. Thank you especially for these thoughts on scars; it's a new take on parts of me that has already begun some healing.

Thanks JoAnne. I’m always encouraged by your words too, and agree about the inner scars.

Sending prayers for healing and recovery for you, Shannan. Peace.

Thank you SarahLee. I saw you more onstage than off this year, but glad to be part of a great event together.
