Reading this volume was an entire exhale... and a needed tear. To take up your invitation, here is my micro love letter (not to a body part per se, but to a sometimes-part of a body part?): I have to apologize and thank my hormonal zits, those recurring guests that love to overstay… Thank you to my acne for reminding me of my sensitivity and communicating what is happening inside this soft, animal body with honesty and loyalty. Thank you to my acne for the cyclical teachings to forgive myself for self-abandonment and harm... and for the reminders to orient toward gentleness and ease with who I am, exactly as I am, in ever-changing form.
Enjoy your trip—I hope that your inner child is in total splendor! And thank you again for spreading the love about Regarding Dew XO
Wow, Maggy, thank you for this letter being shared here. It is truly beautful.
I really needed that. I really needed it today, too, so am grateful that my incapability to stay on top of my comments in a timely manner worked in my favor and I got this exactly when I needed it.
Radiant. I loved this love letter. And while I'm not ready to write one to myself, I'm grateful—so grateful—for yours to turn to, both as inspiration and faith.
Tears reading this. Thank you for sharing this with me, for your kind words and for sharing that you’re not ready. I wasn’t ready for a long time and it’s important you take any and all time you need 🧡🧡🧡 so much gratitude to you.

Your words reminded me of Mary Oliver's "Dogfish," one of my favorite poems. Especially: "And nobody, of course, is kind,/or mean,/for a simple reason." (https://www.poetseers.org/contemporary-poets/mary-oliver/mary-oliver-poems/dogfish/)
