Wow if Maria Shriver is lonely then you are definitely right that there has to be so many more lonely people then I ever imagined.
Zibby you are the greatest connector of people. I would love to read some books fiction and memoir about older people dealing with their loneliness (with happy endings).
zibby you hit the nail right on my head! Living a life with meaning is where I find myself whether in conversation or my work as a psychotherapist. Listening to stories every day from patients who were first strangers to me, I am now their confident. The most intimate conversations and relationship that most people do not have with a "close" friend or partner. My husband with Alzheimers, though highly functioning, independent, has gone almost silent and can no longer engage in conversation so my own longing for those deeper connections with friends is so meaningful and adds so much value to my life and to our longevity. Thank you for inspiring THIS conversation preempted by Maria's reflections.
Zibby, I love how you connect people - even when you aren’t there. Your bookshop has a party going on every day where I meet the most interesting people. Your retreats are such a blast and your parties unforgettable. Thank you for all you do to fill my life with the most inspiring people and discussions with subject that make my world expand.
Great writing and so informative on all fronts. Thank you Zibby for always bringing the excellent.
