We all have a purpose to serve in our lives, and taking time to restore your body, mind, and spirit is essential. Be happy and at peace. The world is the storm, and we must be the stillness within.

Welcome back! I'm glad you got to focus on other things for a bit. I should do the same. This is one of the better pieces I wrote over the last 6 months. https://tobyrogers.substack.com/p/sliding-doors

Wow you’re back! So nice to see your name in the inbox! So wonderful that you took that time to “get away from it all” (Clownworld) and spend time in the real world. Honestly it’s been the same old gaslighting and corruption as far as the perpetrators are involved....though it seems the masses are awakening. I think one of the biggest things to catch up on are the Twitter Files, and Brad from Euphoric Recall has some great coverage on that front. (He’s a great Substacker to follow)

Pace yourself in catching up 🥰

I’m glad you’re back 🥰 Important to step away for bits at a time to stay sane in this craziest of times. Hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

I am not surprised to hear that your battery recharging involved music. My musical hero, Frank Zappa, said in his album Joe's Garage, Music is the Best. Welcome back!

Monica!! I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were doing. I figured you were busy homesteading and canning for the Apocalypse ;-)

Since you asked and in the spirit of your New Year’s greeting, I’ll share the poem I published to inaugurate 2023 as the Year of Accountability:

• “Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/mistakes-were-not-made-an-anthem)

Hello again glad you are well! I'm still doing my substack thing I post memes about four times per week. I'm back in Thailand after staying in the USA for a few months still working on my husband's visa to come to America a three year long saga now. And we have no electricity..

Welcome back.

You will soon discover that 2023 is going to be the year when all is revealed and people are going to be quite unhappy (the truth will set you free but it's going to piss you off mightily first). Already the first 2.5 months have revealed EVERY SINGLE debunked conspiracy theory is, in fact, just the truth--a truth always greeted by some CNN talking head mumbling, "Well, gosh, let's move on, shall we?"

For those of us who knew what an incredible shiteshow government had brewed for us as far back as March 2020, well, none of the newly informed is going to give any credit or say sorry for being such a Karen.

But this isn't over; the detriments from this cluster-feck will take a decade to finally settle in. Perhaps even longer to tot up the real & tragic damages done to the innocents.

I have wondered at times, I hope she is ok. Glad to hear you are.

I'm building an orchard and big garden this spring. Lots of young green things currently under lights.

Hello writer.

Monica, I missed you.

I'm a no-virus person now. LOL!

I'm also a nuke-denialist now.

I won't bother you with either.

It's great to read you again.
