I read this a while ago and kept meaning to come back and comment. This whole issue is so wonderful. The. Whole. Thing.

Again, thank you for sharing you experiences with freelancing! I love hearing about your journey. It gives me hope for my own budding career.

The phone calls with the seniors was so touching. My dad was housebound for the last year of his life and loneliness was a real problem. Our tribe sent over an "Elder Advocate" a few times a week to visit and help with dishes, etc. It helped me too! My burden was lighter knowing someone else was keeping him company when I couldn't be there.

Again, wonderful wonderful wonderful. I just love your newsletter.
