In this era of Donald Trump and perpetual bad news your essays on the good side of human existence is truly refreshing. Thank you.

If I believed in a God, I’d say thank God. But Mary, Shanley, and all your family, I so much appreciate your intellect, your knowledge, your research, and your humor. You are good people, so very needed in this world. Thank you so much.

I’m so grateful that you wrote this hopeful piece, Shanley, and that I took the time to read, reflect & enjoy. These days are trying and a few minutes of peace enjoying a good read is what my soul needed.

So wonderful to hear the awesome things happening in your life and please know I appreciate your positivity. Sending good vibes for continued successes with the kiddos & smooth home renos.

ps- I can totally relate to the magic that happens inside Home Depot 😉

Circular staircase should fit in the “dead” space. Prefab or kit or build yourself or carpenter
