So glad this hit a note for you today, Noah. Gretchen is wonderful to talk to. And I so admire her work.

Such a gift to read as I start my Saturday, thank Karin. Your art of interviewing and writing them into stories that take us intimately along with you, is exquisite

Thank you, Toni. Gentle, thoughtful, courageous thinkers are the people that don't get enough airtime and I love interviewing them.

Wow. I really needed this today! I would love to meet Gretchen, who seems to embody everything I’m trying to hold onto and learn at the moment. Interestingly, I also consider green my favourite colour, if I’m forced to pick one, although I didn’t as a child. I’ll need to read this again to take it all in, I think, but for some reason it feels like this post is magnifying ideas that I’m thinking about while reading Tuesdays with Morrie - a book I unaccountably haven’t read before. Lots to ponder. Thank you!

I have interviewed so many people in my life and Gretchen is in my top five. I think what she has to say could be meaningful for many people in different ways. And I had to cut a lot to make the length reasonable. I'll be posting some outtakes that I couldn't include over the next while.
