I am sat here with tears in my eyes reading your Substack, thank you for all you have given to everyone through your kindness and words, your off to share our missed loved ones today touched me deeply this morning especially as you responded to my post. Thank you Beth, I will sit and gather myself to pick up the book where I left off with audible earlier❤️❤️
Started reading my copy in bed last night. Had to put it down after just a few pages; so much to absorb & think on. I suspect that this will be one of those books that I return to time and again. Thank you 🙏🏼
I can't wait to receive my pre-order! And thank you for sharing about the reality of travelling with kids. I fall into the trap of romanticising my holiday travels when I'm planning for them. Of course, I hope for the grandest time. And the more I do that, the more that the universe conspires to bring me back down. In short, something goes wrong and we all get pissed off one way or another. I ask myself the same question, What did I expect? A whole lot of non-reality, that's for sure. 🤷♀️
I hope your celebratory evening out was fabulous Beth. Thanks as ever for your honesty and authenticity. I am away for a few days and got a message to say my copy of Kokoro has been delivered. I can’t wait to start it when I get home, congratulations!
What a beautiful dedication this is for your mother. I too am writing a book dedicated to my mother (she is still with us but sometimes feels so far away). So much did resonate Beth, I would love to learn more about Kokoro and will look for your book. Keep shining your light, I’m sure your mother is watching with “heart.” With love. 🙏🏻😌
4/4/04 was the date my first husband passed away. I don’t remember dates, but the Lord must have called him home on such a day as that so I would remember. Congratulations and May this day be memorable for you because such an accomplishment occurred and for the peace that finishing a book so important to you has to bring.
This was such a beautiful, absolutely heart tendering post. I live in Canada but will get your book when it is available in NA. I'm going to dedicate the book to my beloved son -David, just to put his name out there to be read & seen. He no longer shares our days & nights with us!
You have such a beautiful way of exposing the richness and depths of human emotions and experience with compassion and wisdom. Thank you 🙏
Such a lovely thing to say Xx

Oh I hope so!
Ordered the book just now. I had deeply enjoyed the winter writing sanctuary, looking forward to the spring edition!
Wonderful! I hope you will share some of your spring words with us Xx
❤️. Waiting for the mail to arrive … 🛫☺️
My family's laughter soaked into the walls. I so love that!

It was a wake up call for sure. I think it would have been the same wherever we were at that particular time!
This book is exactly what I need right now, sweetly serendipitously so and it has already given me great joy and made me weep. So so beautiful 🌸💕

My sympathy for your loss, my congratulations for your new book! I look forward to reading it.
Thank you Jeffrey. Hope it resonates deeply

So inspiring 😊 Enjoy your book launch day and I look forward to reading Kokoro whenever my pre-ordered copy makes its way here to New Zealand ❤️
Thank you so much. Hope you love it!
Thinking if you Beth, your loved ones ♥️♥️ and those we have all loved cherished and lost 🥲
Thank you Xx

Go gently. It's no small thing to do. 💙 to you

Oh my goodness, twenty years to the day. Thank you for taking the time to write this, and share, and send good wishes, on such a day. Sending love Xx
