Your bravery and determination are beautiful, but I have to confess that I laughed when I saw you tip and fall into the water! Hehe

The best part of canoeing is all the opportunities to laugh at myself. Thanks for reading my work. Love you, Tae.

Yes!!! As the daughter of a pastor, I can totally relate to the denial of the body. It's just built into the code. I think your church was more conservative than ours, but still, I remember saying out loud in my 20s and 30s (when my body should have been EVERYTHING) that I wished we could evolve to leave bodies behind. FFS.

Hello

I don't know what healthy belonging is. I think that whatever our life, we all have the vision of a different healthy belonging. Well I think !

But you !!! what strength of perseverance you have !

Thanks, Francois ❤️ I guess we all have to find our own version of healthy belonging. I wonder if it's more about what it is*not.* Just a thought.

I’m a nurse and love when people use their bodies. I’ve seen so many who couldn’t or didn’t use them. Glad you’re using yours, friend. Love your determination and grit.

I didn't know you were a nurse, Robin! Thanks for saying that. I definitely feel like I will have fewer regrets on my death bed.

This.

"People who are out of touch with their bodies are a lot easier to control."

And, looking forward to reading what you write on Covid and vaccinations.
