Thanks for this post. I put together a regular email newsletter for Permaculture Yarra Valley, can I share this post as a short article? I’ll link to your substack so readers can find your writing. And I LOVE Lil’Bean with their feet in the coffee mug! Perfect winter photo/drawing!

That would be so cool! Please do share it. I’ve only one request, please make sure you link to Vivienne’s Substack too. She directly inspired me with her beautiful post. Glad you like L’il Bean in the coffee, the silly little glimmers are fun to draw! Xo
