Brenda, a beautiful start of your personal life adventures. Your words and writing are exceptional, a true gift you have. I could image the scenery, and your emotions while reading. Outstanding lessons and inspiration from Celeste, so beautifully written. I have a neighbor Celeste, a very inspiring woman too that I became friends with, she lives life and adjust through her challenges too. There needs to be more Celeste's in the world to encourage, inspire and guide us. Keep living each day to whatever inspires you. Mary

Thank you, Mary! Maybe the lesson is that we can all be more like Celeste, living authentic lives, even when it’s inconvenient for others.

Just wow! I love your writing… your determination and passion; stick-to-it-ness!! I’ve had to adapt and accept so much these past ten years… finding myself, a purpose, a rhythm to go it alone. I love Celeste… may we all live like her, be her! ❤️🫶 Great piece Brenda…thanks for the inspiration, motivation! Your book sounds amazing! 😊👍

Thanks Joan, I'm in the editing process now. It was a wonderful challenge and I learned so much about myself. And enjoyed almost every moment - I wouldn't have minded missing the rattlesnakes on the trail!

Hi Brenda, is your book out yet? If so where can I get a few copies? I’d love to read it and gift it.

John, I’m still editing it. A process that is going slower than anticipated. Will keep you posted.
