Jesus Simone I’m crying in the gym--give a heads up when you’re going to do something like that, what a beautiful story.

So touching that story. I could totally visualize the entire thing, especially the reversing and the single lane road and both of you crying. The poor woman. I hope you are able to find the story behind her loss. It would probably be very meaningful to her to give his life attention so she is not the only one he has, as she said. When someone has been dead for very many years it is so meaningful to have that person remembered and spoken about. I know your mom has been gone for 2 years and I imagine the pain is there still daily but as time goes by you’ll miss how recently she was in the world, you know? Anyway, I love you wide open heart. And you always make me laugh. XO

PS - I’ve been curious about Romeo.

Your story touched me to the core. Thank you, Simone. ❤ At times like this, I wonder where that sign is: "You will cry".

Thank you for sharing - I always enjoy reading your newsletters. So heartfelt. I happened to be listening to this tiny desk concert while I was reading, and found it totally transcendent and wanted to share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iQmPv_dTI0

Omg the tech neck! I started noticing this about 5 years ago and it was horrifying. Thanks for the tips and stories and for being you.

Gorgeous pollen photo!

What a sad and wonderful story. Of all the people she could meet that day, she met you and it was what she needed. A gift to her from her son, if you believe in messages from the other side. Love you for being you.

How did you manage to leave me crying and more informed?

Bookmarking that video to do the exercises later. Changing my photo settings NOW.

One day, I will cry reading The Letter without my tech neck.

Are you psychic? That HEIC thing has suddenly been jacking my sending photos via text game and I've been too lazy to try to figure it out. Game changer and problem solved thanks to you, Silverstein. Very nice to see they photos I tried to send 4 days ago go through.

Love getting The Letter every week and always appreciate your authenticity, insight, compassion, kindness and all the tips, tricks and suggestions that you share. You put the real stuff out there and we're here for it.
