Hi Sue, I am not a born seller either, and have had to scrutinize why I can't just do it like any other task. After all, a lot of things don't come naturally and I do them anyway.

I know I have lots of issues and this is just one, Lol. 😂

So, I applaud you for tackling this head on!

I enjoy your work and simply struggle to read everyone I like all the time. There is a lot of interesting work here, I guess that is a good problem?!

Thank you Maria! I agree 100% that there is an abundance of interesting and important writing on Substack. I had to come to do a check-in with my time this past week and reconfigure how much time I am able to spend here.

I totally hear you on selling! Not my thing, either. The idea of the visual gift is great, and you are offering much. Bitterroots are lovely to see; I look forward to them every year. They are like beautiful flower-shells scattered across the ground. Thank you for the book recommendations, I will keep them in mind. Much of me reading is nonfiction also, but at night I generally read fiction, and historical fiction is a favorite.

The Lion Women of Tehran sounds very compelling. I grieve for the lost opportunities for...dare I guess a number?...billions of women. I don't doubt for a second that, given the absolute power they crave, the current wielders of power in our own government would take women backwards by many decades. In the Dobbs decision, they already are.

It is a compelling book that depicts scenes and choices that we may have to face in the US. Thank for commenting, Rick.

Thanks for the plug for my Terraphilia Book Club, Sue! I appreciate it very much. Thanks, too, for the Lewisia photos and profile. They're one of my favorite wildflowers. Many blessings and a hug for you.
