Oh Mandi, I love you! This was beautifully written with such hope for the “I’m not an” people of which I’m certainly one. Perhaps I won’t be a quick to shrug off the next compliment I receive without saying even to myself that I’m not at all creative. You give me hope and joy!
Thank you, Joan. I am happy to hear that it resonated. It's taken years to come to this point where I can gracefully say "Thank you" .. we are our own worst critics :)
What an awesome testament to an amazing life. Thank You for sharing… we’ve all been through multiple phases of life, ups and downs . Reading this reminds me of my own journey and inspires me to keep on living life to the fullest! 😊💕🎶
Thank you, Lynn. Our journeys are inexplicably complex and, yet, we come across as oversimplified versions of ourselves in online interactions. I am hoping that by sharing the ups and downs of my own life I will spur some conversations around how beautiful, sad, awful, challenging, inspiring and full of all things “life” we are — and that is all part of being human, of being imperfect, of being uniquely ourselves!

Mansi! You are such a gifted writer and story teller. So excited for this next adventure for you!
Thanks so much, Karen! It’s been quite a ride thus far and the future looks promising as I vow to say “yes” to new challenges!

Oh goodness, I hate autocorrect!
I do, too. But it's ok :)
