Glad to hear your voice again. I’m 80 and started a new career. It’s never too late but I asked my doctor today if it was wearing myself out or making me stronger. She said I was clearly having too much fun for it to be the former. Keeping on.

How exciting to start a new career! I am so glad to hear the ways in which you are “keeping on!”

So happy to see you appear in my e-mail this am. I have looked for you, in vain for a bit after you left UU. I always enjoyed your sermons, (online), and liked your website very much. Looking forward to exploring the “real notes” with you.

Welcome back to our "inboxes" -- lovely to see you again, our friend!

With a new trigger thumb and all the baggage that goes with the medical visits to fix it, I'm feeling at least half over, despite my lack of readiness for that.... Autumn has always brought me energy for refills and refuels, and I wish you the same this year.

Good to hear from you! I share the experience of autumn as a time for a refresh each year!

Cheers to deep thoughts, authenticity, and community building! I am sooo excited to track along. And who knows, you might just inspire a few of us to do so more writing too one of these days. : )

So very glad to hear from you! I am one of those already past half over. I’m in the running out of zeros phase! Looking forward to hearing more from you (and others) and possibly joining in occasionally!

“It’s just that looking directly at what is true is where all the magic is.” YES. 👏 👏👏

And I, too, am guided by - do my words, actions, and thoughts either increase liberation or decrease suffering, for myself and others. It’s solidly gotten me to midlife. 😉

He returns to the page! Welcome back. It's never too late to become something new or be more of who you were meant to be - whatever that is. I've become and artist... who knew! Looking forward to seeing what you do, too.

Hi Aaron, reading your words validates a lot of my inner thoughts. So grateful for the first half and now contemplating how to be truly present in the next half because it goes by so fast. Sounds like you have a full plate of fun, joy, and busy.

Wishing you the best and looking forward to more of your writing. Lydia (and Eric) Neher
