Diamond-Michael, I am honored to have read this piece, my first upon awakening this morning. I am truly moved and in awe of your writing. There is so much depth and truth expressed which resonates with my own heart and soul. Thank for sharing your wisdom, your heart, and your precious gift as a writer. Peace and Love to you, and keep sending us pearls of truth.
Diamond-Michael Scott, your post today-in collaboration with Tiffany Chu-moved me. What her cultural traditions from Taiwan imparted to her seemed strict, limiting. And I know women today that share traditions of their own that resonate with Tiffany’s. One chose to explore self-expression as her journey. Writing, representational art, publishing a number of books. In doing so she has found personal freedom, confidence, and a fountainhead of creativity.
Thank you for your kind words, Gary. You've put into words what I think my journey has been about. I do feel fulfilled in my work now, after a lifetime of searching and being told what I should do. It's certainly freeing.

Thanks Cheryl. But all credit to Tiffany for her willingness to share and be so vulnerable. 🙏 I’m just the wisdom gatherer.
Diamond-Michael's writing is truly something special. Thank you for reading this, Cheryl.
I love the idea as writing as a bridge between two worlds! Great piece and thank you to Tiffany for being so open and thoughtful with all of us here.
Thank you, David.

So much to unpack here. Thx for starting my morning with grief and redemption. They go together like cornflakes and milk.
Two parts of a whole, as you say. Thank you, Peter.
Diamond-Michael, thank you for this honour and for writing about me with such grace and empathy. I feel seen and heard. It's wonderful to know you.

Love this part. So poetically true
