That path towards a 'life's work' sounds about right to me, including the timescale, the twists, challenges and steep learning slopes along the way. Best wishes for this important work

Thanks for this. It sounds as though you know about such things. I really appreciate the reassurance.

I'm on that path too. Having chosen 'my life's work' (or has it chosen me?) 25 years ago, look where it's taken me ~ right here to substack 🧳 😅

Kate, all the very best of luck - though I think you’ve absolutely got enough experience, kindness and empathy not to need luck. This is so exciting. I love your idea and I know that your blog posts have often had me nodding or exclaiming in agreement, so I am sure that you will become an important and helpful influence in many people’s lives. Love to you, Zoë

Thanks Zoë. Long journeys start with single steps, etc. - but this is the first step (or the first public one, anyway. I’ve been making the private steps towards this for a long time, if usually with my hands over my eyes).

This, as Matthew said, feels so “right”. I’d love to help in any way I can.

Thank you! Both for the reassurance the offer (which I’ll absolutely take up when I’m a little further down the line).
