21. Some names have their own aura
Wed Mar 12, 2025, 12:03 AM
Mar 2025

Names that evoke a certain respect, names that by themselves evoke a warm and open heart and therefore receptiveness, like MustLoveBeagles, SheltieLover, Siswan, usonian, XanaDUer2, Skittles, and on. Each have offered a hand in my time of need, and far more importantly, a unique ingredient that allowed for my walls to keep crumbling down, creating the beginnings of an us, not a me him her separation anymore.
All these pebbles crossing paths, taking bits of ourselves into new directions, new ideas and new realities.
My very first mentor in my life, a man named Tom Redmond said some of the most profound words I've ever embraced and here I am 40 years later world famous as the worst punster and dad joker on earth.
His words were these "John, you can think anything you want. Many problems get solved by thinking outside the box. It's called free association".
I'm so grateful for all of you and the help you gave me in opening my soul by so freely sharing yours.
I love you
