This is a TREASURE TROVE of fabulous insights and delightful writing! A poem! A podcast! Tips! Ideas! Advice! Thank you thank you thank you. A morning gift. (I used to do morning pages religiously but recently I stopped, which is a Bad Sign.)
Thank you for sharing your writing! You are an incredible inspiration. I never felt so isolated after reading your thoughts. You make this complex world seem easier to understand. I just breathe and break it all down into bite-sized thoughts that my mind will absorb more easily! The imagery and stories you share are always relatable and come from a kind heart. I didn't know about your Substack. I just joined up to read you and get my fix! ❤️🙏🎈🥰🥰🥰
I love getting your letters! Also, I always remember Tyra Banks saying in high school people would call her "Tweety" and comment on her "5-head." Apparently, that's beauty because you're both gorgeous! Where do I sign up for my own 5-head?!! Thank you for all you shared! SO much love to you! xoxo
As someone who also loves learning other languages and is obsessed with the idea of being a translator—I hear you on the translation dream! Exciting that you will get to hold the Persian version of your book—
I adore the BethAnnigan! The writing, the humor, the authenticity bring me joy. I also love the fact that I never know when it'll show up in my email--its like a surprise gift! Can't go wrong with this one. 💗💗💗
As always, I follow all your words. Met and loved you at Hoover years back and continue to feel that love. This was a great piece, filled with deep meaning and humor at the same time. Important words about women's safety/health. I'll be checking out that podcast too! PS - your head is Not huge. I've sat at a table with you, would have noticed a giant bobble head at the other seat. ;0
Beth Ann, as a fellow crone-in-training, I identify with and love your "thinkles"! Wish I could convince my 30-something daughters that of all the things they should worry about right now, Botox isn't one of them.
Thank you for this lovely newsletter! Fame and money isn’t everything for sure. Congratulations on being read in other languages. And thank you for being brave and informative about women’s health issues. Not sure that many men understand how it all works and the medical side of pregnancy and miscarriages. Very sad. I had three miscarriages and two D and Cs. Glad that they were available.

Thank-you for sharing such private, painful memories! You are awe inspiring!
Thanks, Leigh!
How cool is that! I'm an Iranian-American writer and love that you did that. Awesome! :)
ahhh AMAZING! So someone I know can read the translation (in however many years) and tell me if it's good! Very cool, Rebecca!

Yes, I wish I was one of those clock-work regular posters. . . .seems about every 8 weeks is as much as I can stand myself!
