Your substack not only let's us know you better but in my case, helps me to understand myself. You bring so much love and hope here and with your Facebook Family chats. 100% Lou... Wahooo!!!

Love Tom. Love your story. Perfect timing to read this wonderful piece of literature you wrote. You remind me of me in many ways. I just need to remember to remind myself that I am learning to fly.

Oh Lou this was such a gorgeous edition. I felt like I was right there in the beautiful garden with you.

"So let’s take the word I just used ‘distracted’ and turn it on its head….Instead let’s say I’m inspired by all these lovely things and memories around me…" what a powerful and impactful way to approach the day and the thoughts. You are inspired and inspiring.

Also thank you SO much for the shoutout at the end, you're too kind 🧡🧡🧡 great minds think alike and I love that we are friends!

Looking back and listening once again to this lovely thought provoking sub stack in the wee small hours got me thinking , amongst the hustle and bustle of life who doesn’t want calm, peace and tranquility?

Slow me down Lord, take time to listen to others, reflect on the little things that matter, chat about the good times, whilst remaining positive. Be patient with oneself, embrace the good times we once had and indeed count our blessings. “Keep looking up” as you say Louise.🦋 🌈🙏🫶🐞🪶
