Oh Ginger 💕 I loved this piece and I'm so touched to be mentioned. Honestly connecting with inspiring people like you is one of the hidden gems of Substack. I honestly didn't know how much I needed Substack friends and community 🙏

You have a fresh and authentic writing style, I am so glad I found you in my comments recently. Making music is one of my missing pieces right now, I need to get back to the joy of my piano.

Ginger!

I am finally catching up with you :). This makes me beam with happiness! I cannot wait to see your launch! There is nothing like the community of music and I am so happy you are giving this a go. Finding your way back to your original passion and love is all God. He gives us purpose and it's a journey, but if we trust, do the work, He brings us to where we are meant to be. The community here is a part of that too. I was seeing the word "shame" in your story and recently I shared this with another lovely writer, who wrote on shame. She listened to the whole thing. I found it valuable many years ago and so I'm leaving it here. Brene' Brown had already done a Ted Talk a few years before this one that completely blew up big (she had no idea it would) and it threw her for a loop. She studies shame for a living. Anyways, I really hope this finds you doing well. I'm just about recovered so that's good! Praise God for getting me to the e.r. before it blew up. I was so close to a different outcome.

Much love, deb ox
