Wow! Such inspirational words of wisdom and don’t doubt yourself. You are deserving of so much more and each writer has their own twist which is why I like reading your romance books!

I was told once that being, living, breathing, just like writing, is not a one and done arrival. It’s a practice. It’s ongoing. It’s about the -ing.

When I compare, I compare someone’s moment to my lifetime. I inexplicably take one thing from someone else and somehow make my whole life fail by comparison. It’s an awful habit. So I try to remember my -ing; adulting, and that it’s a practice. There’s always movement and daily rhythm -never ending. I practice not comparing and when I do compare, I try to be forgiving. Thanks for this letter today! I needed that.

"It's a practice." YES! And I love what you said about how comparison is matching a moment against a lifeline. I'm going to remember that!
