Thank you Cynthia for your candor about your current reality frame.. disruption, surprise etc. I loved what you had to say about "influencers".. as even that is being monetized now, rather than coming from where you are in your saying, "In the best of situations, we apply our influence to inspire one another to grow, to love more deeply, to think more clearly, to be more authentic." Now THAT is how I want to be influenced (which is why I so much love your writing and what you share with us!) I really have to bow to you in the face of so much disruption that you have been able to find a way to stay somewhat centered (as best you can in the moment).. With so many stressors.. I am amazed that you have been able to focus enough to write this authentic expression of your current experience. I am so delighted to have a window into your world and how you are coping with the disruptive circumstances that we are all facing to some degree or the other on Earth at this time. My "take away" is a re-frame around being more curious and surprised rather than focusing on the stress of the disruptions in my own life! Thank you for the clear insights that always come out of reading your work!!

Thank you for writing this. I struggle with the same conflict about writing for the sake of writing and then the ego traps of these social media platforms.
