And I speak it over my family, over myself, over our lives. And Deborah asked earlier about wondering, awe. And these are the things that give me that. The wonder of innocence running about the precious nature of our spirit, the precious nature of ourselves. We have only ourselves to give, nothing more, nothing less. It's who we are and it's our choice to share or withhold

Thank you. Becky, you said a whole lot in simply saying sharing true self, because that's the part that we generally don't do. Our great America specializes in being able to show a display or to show something else other than the real deal for good reasons. The good reasons is not everybody can be trusted. And so it's not an easy thing to get to the point of being able to share true self

When you just write off the top of your head, you don't have a clear starting point or a clear end. You're just writing straight from your, from your spirit. And it's amazing what you will see when you do that. And so, as always, I love your swells and your poetry. So. And, you know, last year I purchased one of your books, so I'm going to be diving into a few poems out of there, hopefully this week

Wasn't just obscured, wasn't just anything minimal like that. I was blind in my right eye. And when they checked for the cataract, it was a very dense, very mature cataract that went into the fundum and beyond, blocked toward the retina. And there was a lot to remove. I went behind the pupil, and it wasn't just a, you know, lightly take it off. And there you go. But I had my surgery on Thursday

Hi, Becky. Thank you so much. And, you know, that is so, so sweet of you to include me in your prayers, especially when it comes to vision, because that is one, excuse me. That's one of the complications that is the scariest for me, dealing with this chronic illness because of the possibility of blindness if I don't continue to manage it. Because the one thing I like to do is read words

But I need the medication because otherwise I would bleed out. So. But on page 97, this is a poem that I wrote. I don't usually put titles with my poems because I do just free write. I just take my phone. I've written four books on my cell phone. I take my phone, I sit in my rocking chair. I put my music on, and I just go and. But I couldn't verbally articulate on swell without reading from a page

And as you were reading the poem, I went to that page in the ebook of yours that I got, and I was reading along as you were reciting it, just to fully, you know, eat the words that you're feeding. Right. That you're feeding me. And I love. Let me see what part it was. Yeah. So I love the part where you say, so stop kicking your teammate, work together, and get after it
