I am so glad to have found you through @shawnamawna. She's such an amazing community builder!
I feel fortunate to have been born into a loving family, but for my friends who do not have loving families I absolutely echo your assertion that you can "cast it away, and get a new one!"
@shawnamawa is gifted and her thoughtful approach to both art and healing in others is what steemit should be founded. Your finding me, however, is hardly as notable. I'm just and old man trying to never stop growing so my children can be better people than I've ever managed to be. Your kind words are very much appreciated.
I think finding you is absolutely notable. I'm not one to believe in coinsidence :)
Thank you for your profound kindness. You bless me with your words.
