Your words about writing daily landed with me today. I have been writing daily for nearly 1.5 years. It’s cathartic and vulnerable, painful and joyful, healing. But mostly, it is now the air that I breathe. Thank you for being here.
You are a remarkable human being, holy smoke (inference intentional, but in the small "c" catholic i.e. "universal" way). Brand new to Substack since mid-Nov. So glad I somehow discovered you here. Looking forward to your good words.
Thank you. When I shut off news and social media and came to this forum, your words and others gave me space and support to feel all the feels, to really learn from them, and to prepare for letting them go before deciding what to do.
Great article, Diamond-Michael. This aligns with my perspective as well, although I am not familiar with Taoist principles. The relationships that I have developed have had a tremendous impact on my life. I won't ever get financially rich as a writer, but my life is richer because of the people I have met here.
You speak my language.
🙏 Are you from my adopted hometown of Chicago? I love the architecture there as well.
Born here and recently returned. Best city in the country in my book :)
Agree! Love Chicago. Not sure I’ll move back but am planning on visiting there regularly.

Glad to hear. Have a magnificent day and so great to connect.
Speaking my language, Diamond-Michael. Thank you.
I appreciate your writing every day now. Thank you for sharing your essence with us. It’s a bright spot in my day.
Thank you for your kind thoughts. It’s so great to hear.
Thank you again for your wisdom and refreshing example. I am always moved and improved by your words! (Hah! I just made an accidental rhyme! 🤪)
Love that! 😂

Another beautiful post Diamond-Michael ✨🙏
Thanks Hege. I hope you are thriving.
Dear Diamond-Michael, we don't know one another (yet), but I mentioned you in a recent post. I hope that is okay. Randy.

Oh WOW! Thanks for sending this link over. Checking it out now.
So true, Diamond-Michael. Thanks for these words. Substack is a great way of connecting with others, and enjoying mutual support.
It truly is Diana
This is so full of wisdom, one of my favorite things you've written! thank you

Awesome! And ever so true. I’ve met some amazing people here already and I’ve only joined Jan 2024.
I love your image of Notes being your Taoist Pond. That gave me a huge grin.
This has really spoken to me in a very deep manner, a wonderful resonating article. Thank you.
What a beautiful way to see things ☮️
Shine on, Diamond! Your words are a joy.
