This. To be printed and posted and read daily. “To not play it safe; to continue to create; to nourish my reservoir of love and be a feeder for the reservoirs of others; to preserve a sense of childlike wonder; to not be afraid to stand up for what’s right.”

Jane and Lauren thank you for this wonderful interview. I appreciate a sneak peek into how another person navigates life, everything from the gorgeous Theo to your inner landscape. Every time you share your story like this it helps someone feel less alone in the world.

Oh, Donna, thank you for your beautiful words! That's exactly my hope with Beyond! And, yes, Theo is so gorgeous!

“There are few straight lines in life, and how you get from one thing to another—and then to another—is more a testament to resilience than brilliance.”

I love this Mary Rodger's quote so much!!

Your bunny - so adorable. Is it possible to have a bunny? I need a pet badly - not a dog (too much walking) - not a cat (allergic). Can you tell me what’s involved, care etc. I would be indebted to you & thank you in advance.

Your writing is terrific.

Hi Mimi!

Bunnies make for wonderful pets. They're quiet, clean, and very friendly. Here's a good link on rabbit care: https://www.animalhumanesociety.org/resource/rabbit-care

Let me know if you have any questions!
