Dear Reader,

I'm glad you're here.

I'm sending this short note because I was away last week visiting family. Regular posting will resume next week.

Borrowing from the Don Boivin Substack Note of May 4th:

I want to share the same message. It was written to his readers, and while I never considered the premise of his words, I agreed with them wholeheartedly. So, I decided to convey the same to you because it’s important to our association, as well.

If you’re a Substack writer, please know that our reading/writing relationship is not transactional in any way. When I subscribe, comment, recommend, upgrade to paid, or whatever, it’s because I enjoy your work. Period.

If you’re strictly a reader, the same meaning applies.

Whether you read Life Matters every week or stop by occasionally, I’m glad you’re here (whenever that might be.)

I love to write and am happy to share my stories with you. It’s therapy for me, and I hope it enlightens or entertains you somehow.

The bottom line is this:

Thanks for participating in my creative endeavor in whatever way you choose. And for other Substack writers, I’m grateful you share yours with me!

Sincerely,

Ms. Writer
