Dear Beautiful Soul,
Thank you for bringing your heart into our community of HeartCentered Connections.
This space has been living in my heart for years, quietly waiting for the right moment to come to life.
And now, as I celebrate my 78th birthday, it feels like the perfect time to begin sharing what I’ve learned—and am still learning—about life, love, letting go, and laughter.
I figure if not now, when…. and I don’t want to leave all I’ve written in my computer or in my basement for my daughter to feel guilty about throwing out…
I have been blessed to be the mother of two amazing daughters and Baba to three perfect grandchildren.
I have also dealt with a chronic illness, infertility, a painful and sad separation and divorce, several cancers - including stage 4 lymphoma, stage 2 breast cancer, colon cancer, melanomas…and most tragically the loss of my beloved younger daughter Dana to her twenty year battle with addiction.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve weathered your own storms and celebrated sunrises. You’ve had moments of deep joy and deep grief. You’ve questioned, you’ve grown, you’ve healed… and sometimes, you’ve simply survived.
This Substack is a heart-centered space for all of that.
For all of you.
Here, I’ll be sharing stories, reflections, meditations, and messages from my Higher Self that have helped me—and might help you too.
I’ll also talk about what it means to age with grace, navigate change, and find gratitude amidst the grief.
There’s no map for this journey—but I believe we can walk it together.
And maybe laugh along the way.
Thank you for letting me into your inbox—and your heart.
Let’s begin.
With love,
Linda
P.S. Because I have decades of writing about different topics, I’ve created pages for each one. You can browse any post or go straight to these pages to find what you need.
If you ever want a current reflection on any topic of interest to you, please let me know.
My infinite love and gratitude for your being here,
and please share with anyone who could use an extra hug. xoxo
