When the subject of journals and notebooks comes up, yours is the first name to pop into my head. Definitely part your Life’s Work, and very inspiring to have read about them these past years and to see parts of them. I can for sure see a book developing out of your journal work!

Your name is Betty-Ann!!! I’ve always wondered. That is a GREAT name. Also your story is very inspiring. I love the idea that I may do very best and most meaningful work after I hit sixty!

Oh WOW, that's funny! I really didn't mean to be hiding my name... I can't believe you haven't seen it before now. People have called me B.A. since I was a kid. I mean, some do... some people prefer to call me Betty-Ann. I really don't mind either way.

I'm sure you know this, but you're definitely doing meaningful work now! Your newsletter gives me (as you know) great joy.

This post has all the wins. A beautiful space (WANT your studio space!), a leprechaun voice-over, and oodles of authenticity. I heart your posts so much! Thank you for being you.

Why do I always feel like you ARE my headspace when I read your words? It’s like… you are my inner conscience 😅. Which is cool, and also startling at the same time!

Anyhoooooooo….love the Irish voice over…both of them. Made me laugh which then made me cry because I pulled a muscle under my ribs and all emotional outbursts are causing chaos.

I digress, again… would love to sign up for the journaling workshop…can I do this with cold hard cash? I know, I know… Luddite alert…
