This post has really resonated with me, Lucy. Thank you.

Mostly I'm glad - relieved - not to have children. And yesterday - when almost every lady I saw had either a bump, a baby, a troupe of children or all three - I felt rather differently.

But hey, I'm me, and I'm fine.

Hurrah for both Beyoncé and New Orleans - which looks like an amazing place even without her! I bet you'll have an absolute ball!

I loved reading this Lu; it is hard to put into words what it takes to hold a position where you don’t grab a label to define things, but you’ve taken me there this morning with your sophisticated, honest and thought provoking writing. I also can’t believe Beyoncé is imminent! So excited for you. ☺️🌟

Congratulations you have reached the state of surrender, this is a very challenging thing and it is height of enlightenment in Buddhism and other spiritual traditions. Go you!
