Hippie Lou, that is the most sweetest, heartwarming and encouraging message.  You have the most kind and selfless heart that truly affects those around you.  If it wasn't for you and you always cheering me up and having faith in me, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Your kindness, encouragement and positive perspective on life had a huge impact on me during those years.  I was just reminiscing about you having coffee at the bar and cheering me up while i was baking.

Still basking in the warm afterglow of your accompaniment :-)

Right back at you, I really enjoyed spending the time with you!!

Please no apologies Hippie! I was so glad you came, the film made me think of your philosophy of recovery and good living (magic mondays among others). Always do what's best for you re: checking in. I was exhausted too!

Hi Hippie Lou, i am home. Should i wait for you to share dinner with you?

If you would like, that would be great, but if you are hungry, please go ahead I am twenty minutes away, will head your way :-)

Ok. Dinner is a bunch of little things....fruit, soup, hummus & toast

The door is open for you if you need a spot for a little

You're welcome Hippie :). Was just thinking of you, since I occasionally conjure you up to word things I want to say more peacefully

Hello Lou, just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet you -- if you're in the neighborhood by ASL and want a coffee -- you can text me !​

hi hippie lou,

i'll be going today (friday) at 2:30pm!

i also wanted to tell you that i started studying for the GRE's to apply to grad school for art therapy. :) i know we talked about this before, and i do want to practice art therapy and get the credential, after a year or two of working in user experience (which is my short term goal).

becoming an art therapist is my dream and long term goal, actually-- and the fact that entering into this mental health profession has entered my head shows that i need to pay attention to what my intuition is telling me. :)

i'm making short term plans to prepare for art therapy school, including volunteering for the crisis text line & making art regularly!

can't wait to tell you more soon.
