We are so far apart in life experiences, yet this 81 y/o resonates so deeply about the educators who teach us how to survive in new environments. Senior living needs coaching, too. Thank you so much for raccoon rescue and more.

Absolutely beautiful essay on how it can feel to venture, drift, or be pulled outside of one's safe harbor, yet be tethered by the warmth and love of one's fellow beings. Thank you!

I don't know much about ADHD. Thank you for helping me learn more. I feel the need to point out the names of the two women mentioned who nurse and train raccoon kits are named Woodside and Priest.
