Ha! Caught myself using more words that I needed. "...parsimonious. Not too verbose." One of my go-to quotes about writing is Dr. Seuss: "The writer who writes with more words than they need is making a chore for the reader who reads."
Marjorie, I‘m looking forward to spend more time reading your columns. They already give me a feeling of calmness and empowerment (just like your classes did for me), which is so relevant today. I also feel like I want to shout „fire“ but it somehow feels like the world doesn’t here. So, there more of us are shouting, the closer we get to someone hearing us and together we can try to find water to distinguish it?!
Thank you so much, dear Kathi, and so nice to hear from you. It makes me happy to know you are out there in the world, feeling both calm and empowered, being you, doing you. I still have such vivid memories of you at Bruin Club. Do let’s catch up more soon!
I can attest that you have had wonderful gifts of communication and thoughtfulness since you were quite young. I look forward to reading what you are writing/feeling as we are now Medicare aged instead of high schoolers! ❤️

I'll never look at my Hokas the same way ;) Thanks for writing, Marjorie!! I sure enjoy reading and engaging with your thoughts and musings.

So nice to read your work. I look forward to more. Will be in LA for a quick weekend July 26. Maybe we can take a walk.
Unfortunately i will not be in LA then. You may have to come to Costa Rica...

So nice to connect with you, Ann Marie, and with my Waltham roots. And so appreciative of the beautiful work you have done as a teacher in the world.
I am so glad to see that you launched this journey on Substack! I look forward to reading more of your work here!
likewise! I am so glad you are following your heart in your own writing.
😊❤️🙏🏼
Hello MF. Looking forward to following you.
So happy to see you here, Wayne!
