It’s always a pleasure to read your articles Candace. Your work is always eloquent and profound and the sketches and photos a delight to the eye. (I’m drooling over your lunch photo)! I’m so thrilled you are able to deliver you fantastic travels to us not only in writing and visual form but also sending us off at night to sweet dreams through Calm. This all helps in taking the edge off of this anxious time in our lives.
Thank you. I just love your writing. This story made me immediately think of a time when I had quit a long term job and had a very hard time finding my next one. Eventually I did find a new path that brought me a lot of joy. As we make our way now we all need to remain hopeful and be kind and loving.
Heartwarming letter, Candace. Filled with love and open hearts. I’m seeing a lot of that now. I think that the words, ‘step by step’ shows us the only way to navigate through this crisis. Being in the moment, appreciating the moments of joy, finding pleasure in the small things that are becoming part of our new routines. Be safe and well.
As always, your writing touches me deeply, this one in particular. While you'll never find me on a long walk (mobility issues), I could smell the trees, dust, bushes, sheep, tomatoes...even the kerosene in your lamp. And the questions are so pertinent. What is my equivalent of the $7 compass, a story in itself, isn't it? Thank you. I've fallen away from Moment Sketchers because of technical difficulties, but you remind me that part of my path is that important connection, now more than ever. Thank you! If it's still possible to email you our sketches, I'll do that. Stay well!

Thank you so much! It is one of my favorite sleep stories and to be able to see the actual photos is amazing!
