      Love your description of your many facets – what a rich inner “Committee’ you have! I’ve loved your wellness blogs this January – hope to see you in April! (And maybe I’ll figure out how to her to the comment box on your blog!)

      I commend you for your honesty—I didn’t post every day either. And neither one of us needs to feel guilty. We did what we could.

      Your emergence in new form must be exhausting—take care of yourself!

    Day 31! We made it! Thank you, Paul, for creating this space, and thank you, Kandas, for letting me know about it!

    Here is today’s blog post and the last for the challenge: https://kathilaughman.com/the-stories-of-two-women-born-in-1933/

    My final two are my tributes I have used over the years for my Mom and Dad – both of whom are no longer here on earth but remain ever-present in my life and in my work.

      I am speechless. Your piece today really touched me. Francine’s story about the chocolate and then the serendipitous moment of running in the person they saved and Peggy. Wow!

      Yes, if we are willing we can all make a difference in our world! You have made a difference in my world today. Thank you!

      (I could not find a place for comments on your blog page, so I am commenting here.) Kathy, what a powerful story of stories. 1933 was a very tough year to be born in Europe. Thank you for sharing these pieces from real lives.

    The final day of this UBC and last chance to enjoy January! I have missed all of you!

      Kebba: I posted a comment, then the site asked me to sign in to my gravitas account, which I did, but didn’t see my comment. So I posted it again, but still don’t see it. Perhaps it’s waiting for you to moderate it? If you get two copies, go ahead and delete one. And if neither shows up, here’s what I tried to say:

      Gnial definitely deserves followers. Much more so than his evil twin, Dnial.

    Oh wow, last day, and I’m thinking about spring. Today, I went to the winter sowing workshop, which was all about getting plants started for the growing season!
