Hey All!It’s been a doozy of a week. But at least the sun is shining in Paris and spring is springing. Watching the tulips bloom makes it hurt less that I just had to spend $9,000 on a new boiler for my home in Brooklyn for which I had to liquidate my dwindling assets. Such is “this American life.” And the plumbers I found were the cheapest plumbers for the job. Eye roll. I am rethinking the importance of my kids getting college degrees. They should become plumbers. THAT’S where the money’s at. Dayum.
As per readers’ requests, I am going to try to deliver, more regularly (gulp), the podcast versions of my posts. Our lives have become ones of listening-while-doing and I, for one, can appreciate an energizing walk whilst gaining knowledge and/or just escaping from the constant barrage of the French speaking, “Baaaaaaahhhhhh ouais, du coup, eeeeuuhhhhhhh, c’est quoi ça?” Really? I spent years trying to perfect an impossible language to say, “That’s what, that?”
So, here is last week’s post in podcast format for all!
I send it with love, appreciate all of your support and readership/listenship, and will continue to create from the ether and deliver into the ether with the hopes that I can soften a heart or two, or simply make you smile.
In Laughter,LStL
p.s. I have an excerpt from my memoir coming for my Paid Subscribers. You know who you are. And I love you for helping me keep this journey going. Y’all have no idea how gratifying it is to be rewarded for words. It is…deeply…gratifying.
