When I discovered Catherine AF, I canceled my cable and applied that money to subscribe. She is down right brilliant, sensible, humble, no nonsense and salt of the earth. I also like her woo woo persective. I can’t begin to understand the content of all the people I subscribe to on Substack, especially the science of it all. Curiosity and lots of questions keep me open to those conversations I don’t agree with or begin to understand. I am more interested in the human spirit. What I have witnessed, along with personally being verbally attacked because I didn’t get the poison shot has been devastating. The arrogance and self righteousness coming from friends I once admired and adored was a rude awakening. After being stuck in disbelief and sadness, I broke free to see the silver lining in it all. I had to. I still slip into a little slump here and there when it gets too loud and it’s now feeling very loud. Are we starting all over again, this time with bigger sticks and stones AND words?. I will step away again to catch my breath and spirit. With all that said, I value and enjoy everyone I subscribe to on Substack. What I myself know/recognize for sure is they each have a big heart and don’t take themselves too seriously. So thank you GC for that ~ your content and your spirit are very much appreciated.

Wow. I'm so sorry you had to deal with the arrogant and self righteous mob. Thanks for being here Audrey and may you find your spirit with every breath while away.

Thank you GC. My spirit is intact. It’s just a little wobbly. LOL. It was the self righteousness and arrogance which opened my eyes to the silver linings . It has taught me how to be a better friend. And to recognize I too shamefully participated in that way years ago when I knew less ~ or believed I knew more. So as I still have a little arrogance left in me, I will say this ~ I AM now a better friend, sister, daughter and aunt.

Mine's been wobbled a bit too. You certainly seem to have plenty of what this world needs more of - humility, self-awareness, and heart.

Maybe the wobble is needed to take us off course and see the wonder of life again, or at the very least gain a new perspective outside the suffering.
