Write what you know

[Mimi Wilson]

I know a few things that have made my heart leap. This is one of them.

[Richard Goodman]

Thank you. I'm so pleased you liked the piece.

[Chef Terrance Brennan]

A moving and insightful piece, Richard. Thank you for sharing.

[Richard Goodman]

Thank you, Chef.

[Marina Osipova]

WOW, Richard! You continue surprising me with every new story of yours, but this one shattered me, went even deeper into my heart - stabbed it. I adore you for your courage to bare the very essence. Please write what you know. You do it brilliantly and . . . I just can't find the words right now. Thank you!

[Richard Goodman]

Dear Marina, your words mean so much to me. Thank you!

[Janet Shea]

Blessings to you Richard. Happy 80th. I just celebrated my Ninetieth birthday. To tell the truth I am exhausted. Even as I say this prayer of Gratitude for waking up yet another day.

One of Thanksgiving to be included in another day.

Two: that I do not hurt anyone by “thought, word and omission “

And Third: Please God don’t let me say anything “stupid.”

Sometimes it works.

Janet

[Richard Goodman]
