Thank you, Jim! That's so kind of you to say -- my sister Brooke is a wonderful photographer and took the photo when she was visiting us here in Belgium this spring. Thank you for reading and being here 🙏

You’re very welcome. Yes, I figured whoever took that shot had advanced talent. Just my opinion but that is professional level photography. - Jim

Thank you for your efforts to compile all your stories so far. I just read The Last Candle because I think I missed that one. It's beautiful.

Congratulations on reaching these milestones. If you don't already, you are soon going to have enough material for a unique memoir about your internal world. It's certainly something I would buy and read.

One of my favorite is the one that reads: may you have blue skies & tailwinds and all the good things. Because is such a beautiful wish to share. I think about if often. This is one of the sub stacks im always eager to read. Congratulations on growing, learning and just being happy with Dandelion seeds.

What you have achieved in this last 18 months is so spectacular. I can't and won't take credit for anything, it's all on you, but what I *will* say is that I suspected you would knock this so far out of the park you'd need to book a flight to retrieve it, and that's exactly what has happened. So if I'm allowed a smug "I told you so", I'm taking it.

You've made that rarest and hardest of things: *A Brand New Thing*. And I am very eager to see what the next part of this epic journey holds.
