Thanks for sharing, Eleanor. What a beautiful tribute.
I feel fortunate to have a number of kindness warriors in my orbit. One that comes to mind is actually a couple--Debbie and Al (who’ve lived together nomadically on a boat and now an RV for well over two decades!!). I met them during my first year living in a van at a moment when my fridge had stopped functioning in the middle of nowhere and I was planning to attempt to splice a cord to fix it. Gulp. They offered tools and cheerleading and, later, a sunset cocktail. And this has led to a beautiful friendship (that has included their help in a couple of other projects down the road)!
I love what you read about Eleanor. She was kindness personified. I too was inspired by how she always pointed out the positive in people’s writing. Her behavior was role model and she inspires me to strive to be a better person.
Wonderful story Louise! I have friends that have been CASA volunteers. What a wonderful service they provide for kids! I loved the description of your dear friend, and her work as a writer. I want to read her book that your group helped her self-publish. Sounds really interesting and thought provoking.
Beautiful, Louise. You are one of the Kindness Warriors in my life — your presence and recognition mean so much in the midst of trying or traumatic events. Thank you. — Karyn

She really was. Thanks for reading and your comment!

I think you would really like it! And it would mean a lot to her family to know others were reading Eleanor's work. Let me know if you do read it.

Aww - you're gonna make me cry 🥲. That means a lot coming from you. And vice versa to one of the kindest people I know 💕
