Thank you - I really needed to hear this today. I’m in my 50s, single with no kids, and had to say goodbye to my dog a couple of weeks ago. He’d been with me for 15 years and I’ve been feeling VERY alone.
Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night (when anxiety is more difficult to ignore than during the day), I think about you. This started many years ago after I read your first book. It REALLY helps me go back to sleep, knowing I'm not alone. Thank you for your gift of vulnerability.
I love this! And being someone who is often called upon when others need someone there to figuratively stand at the bottom of the hill with them, this is a sweet reminder to call on others. We're all in this together. Let's climb!
I saw a video with a whale who was trapped with a fishnet around it, front nose, and mouth. A scuba diver approached the whale and cut away the net and the whale was very patient letting that happen… a couple of days later, the diver was in the water and being pursued by a shark. The whale appeared and kept her safe from the shark and allowed her to get to the surface and out of the water and then the whale stayed around the boat for a while. To me, that’s such a wonderful lesson about the value of making friends and being kind. I always love your work your drawings. I have your calendars for several years. I have all your books. You are a true inspiration for me, dear Jenny. Thank you. I too have a lot of alone time
I've noticed that hills do not seem as steep when I have my dog with me than they do when I'm walking alone. And since the dog is fixated on me, I rarely walk alone anymore.
It’s comfy here at the bottom of the hill. We have snacks.
Are they gluten-free snacks by any chance?😅
Likewise!!!!! I don’t think you get what a huge impact you have! Grateful for you!

71, single no kids and I’m content with that. My heart hurts for you losing your dog. ❤️💔
It’s so sad to loose a furry companion. You’ll make it up that hill with all those beautiful doggo memories. They will forever be in your heart. ❤️

Always. We're saving each other.

We’ve got you Jenny! Just like you have us when we need that extra bit of sweet snark to start up that hill 🩷
Thanks for being there, too.
You make it easier for everyone you share with. Thank you thank you. We are truly all in This together and we will overcome it together 🥰🕊️
Oh Jenny 💙 What a beautiful piece! I wasn't aware of that study you mentioned - I love that. Thank you for sharing!
❤️❤️❤️I learn so much about courage from you.❤️❤️❤️

Right there with you Jenny, and we are the lucky recipients of your gift of companionship, honesty and beauty
You are my sheroe and I am grateful I found your blog all those years ago.
