"All I can tell you is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream." — Patti LaBelle
Not convinced I'm enough. Almost impossible to imagine. Must do more more more. Always more. Better. It's our society. I can slow down for a few minutes, maybe a day or two but then I'm awash in more more more. Must. Do. I write about it here: https://chaunceyzalkin.substack.com/p/self-helping-ourselves-to-death (your episode is coming up soon!)
This is great news Christine! This book needs to be out in the world, you’ve waited long enough. It’s time💕You are SO enough and you’ve helped me see that I am enough too. We’re all here cheering you on!
You have been my #1 since the start; our collective love of The Preppy Handbook and Benetton clinched our friendship. Thank you for all that you are ❤️
This is great news! Take control! You have so much wisdom and experience. Bypass gatekeepers and make create your own. Good for you! Cheering you on!!!
YES! Thank you for forging ahead, Christine. It's very punk rock to self-publish. And I, for one, cannot wait to read this book of essays.
You make it feel easier to believe it’s possible — and punk is the best word!!

Your kindness is everything to me, Marnie. And I am thankful to be able to celebrate how phenomenal you are!
I love your writing and the community you are building here on Substack. We are all enough. We all have something to say.
Thank you — and amen to us having a voice. I love yours and the unique ways you spotlight well-being and longevity. Safe travels!
We can all do or make what we want when we put our minds (and collective minds) together.
Control of your portion, be it a whole book, one chapter, a contribution, is what we make day by day. You ARE in control.
The moments are not easy, but nothing worth the most is. (Have you met those twin man-eenagers of yours?)
Keep on keeping on. They call them chapters for a reason.
I can’t thank you enough for this beautiful perspective — and grateful I have you by my side when I lose sight of my strengths.
Christine, You might be going at it alone but you aren't alone! Speaking for the ones who can't wait, it's TIME!
