Lynell, this is short goodbye note. I have appreciated your engagement and comments since I first subscribed to LFAA. It is time for me to move on.

So many subscribers as well as HCR have contributed to my understanding of

our political turmoil. Please accept a hug and my wishes for your good health and

strong spirit.

Fern, I am in hopes that you are in good health. That said, I am sorry to see you leave us. Your contributions for these many years have been stellar. Hugs back to you. Who knows, you may change your mind and revisit us in the not-too-distant future. That'd be a good day if it happens.

Thank you, caring Lynell. So dear of you to think of my health; I am fine, except for our political - social challenges, no small matter that we all face. I hope that you and I meet again, along this road to strengthening our democracy. Salud!

Oh, Marlene Lerner-Bigley...this is a note of admiration for your engagement and support. It is time for me to say goodbye to LFAA. Subscribing has been a very worthwhile learning, but my mind tells me to explore new terrane.

Big hug, sister!

Dear D4N. You have been a terrific subscriber friend. It was time for me to explore other political terrains. Being of member of LFAA for more than thee years has been an excellent learning experience. Reading subscribers' comments as well as exchanges in addition to reading HCR's Letters provided a field of riches

Please except a Big HUG, BROTHER. We may meet again along the road of strengthening our Democracy! Salud!

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high. I love your pictures and now I am singing. Thank you.

This beautiful image of the rainbow and the water and the vast sky is symbolic, that you (and yours) are connected to a bigger realm and vicariously, you offer us an invitation to join you. Some of this journey offers glimpses of realities that exist concurrently, but we have not been conditioned to be open to them. You open our eyes and ears and hearts and more. Thank you, Heather. So much gratitude from your groupies. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Katherine in touch w a bigger realm, you are so correct. I don’t want to say ‘we’ because who knows? There may be someone or plural, who see live beyond but with all in touch.

HCRs posts bring me hope almost no matter what. And yes, this rainbow is a stunning example as you described.

Thank you for reminding me to keep myself open no-matter-what.

A <double> rainbow, if one looks closely! ☺️

OMG - SO OBSERVANT! Better yet, yes? I see it now. The photos she shares are always amazing, and it feels like they expand our view of the world through that medium along with her words and wisdom and perspective. Her dedication as well is exceptional. >> Are you aware of this organization out of the UK? You might enjoy it. Membership extremely reasonable in cost and, as a member, one can opt to receive a daily post, one of those special moments in each day, to take it in, learn, meditate or simply rest in it.

Hope surrounds us! Enjoy your night off! I know you’re going to be back at it tomorrow…democracy needs our vigilance and you need to rest whenever you can. What an awesome picture!

What a lovely and deeply moving photo! And I'm always happy and inspired when you let us know that you are taking care of you. I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning for my daily sharing so it doesn't get lost in the X shuffle!

A lovely photo…..

I saw a a copy of your book in a small neighborhood bookstore in Newport Beach. I was telling the owners all about you. They knew your book was on the bestseller list. So you are getting to be known from coast to coast. Lynn Lorenz
