Hello UB Jane. What a most beautiful share from the Pope. Words to live by. And I know about your blog platform struggles and the same problems I had commenting. I'm glad I can finally comment here. 🤣😂😍🦄🦄💜💛
The words from Pope Francis are indeed inspiring Jane. As are yours my friend.
I think many are seeking to be heard, and validated in the world. And as writers and inspirers, I feel we, as writers, dreamers, poets, also seek to share those inner knowing's, those inner prompts, we have come to trust, as we follow our inner instincts as to what sits best with us. So following your gut and what Tim has also stated, is right for you.
I have been fortunate in that I have only tweaked the visual look of my home blog on WP. And apart from various hiccups and glitches within the WP system I have not sort to expand until I came to join you over here on Substack.
I feel the lessons we are all of us are learning are that while we seek the outer world's voice and opinions of our writings, poems, video's etc... The only validation that really matters, is that we within ourselves are satisfied with what we produce and contribute, as we serve others.
This last few months, my whole outlook on life is shifting more to be within. It is a calmer place I find myself in. No pressure, no deadline. Just flowing within that which draws me at the time.
So I am happy Jane you are settling in your new home of Substack, and I hope we can share more and more inspiring moments together..
Much love to you and Tim Jane, From all three of us .. 💖 And thank you again for the Sunflower! :-)
Dearest Sue, I value you, my friend, our connection, and I appreciate your shared wisdom. You are right, we are not drawn by likes or validation in that way. We are drawn to write and share. It is that simple. I, like you, am going within and feeling drawn to do that more. Tim understands, and when I feel compelled to take on another service, when I am already busy, I look towards him as the call comes in, and he gently shakes his head. We have a pact, and he is my guiding light. In my still moments, I let him know how much more I can take on in the coming week, and he reminds me of my boundaries as the week unfolds and requests come in. I am grateful to you, always. Much love to you and your two B's. Xxxxx 🌻💛🌻💛
It is good to be reminded of boundaries Jane, and stick to them often forget to nurture and care for ourselves and rest.... So it is good Tim is both your barometer and compass.. :-) xx Hugs xx
I found the easiest way to read and comment is to sign up. There is a lot of great content on Substack - yours included - loved the quote from Pope Francis ! Hope all is well and Happy Mother’s Day !!!
Thank you, Pete. Happy Mother’s Day to Marge. I stay signed in, as Substack is the home for my website, so that makes sense. Your suggestion is helpful, thank you. Much love to you both. Xxxx 🩷
Pope Francis was a brilliant man. but more than that, he was kind and compassionate. Great leaders lead by example.
I hope this comment gets through, Jane. I got through last time after a few failed attempts. I had to keep entering the six digit verification, and then it kept telling me that every handle I tried was already taken. A little hard to believe, considering some were just my name followed by random numbers and letters.
No need to change again, Jane. Blessings to you and Tim.
You made it through, Pete. Thank you so much for persisting. I so appreciate you. Yes, Pope Francis was a kind and thoughtful soul. Much love to you and Debbie. Xx 🩷

These are inspiring words by Pope Francis. We all should try to live by them.
Yes, John, they touched us deeply. 🩷
