Love you and your dinghy. Sophia appreciates your generosity when you need to make more room in your closet so don’t go too minimalist. You have excellent taste and love beautiful things but I love that they don’t define you. You are amazing all on your own. Thanks for sharing the message.

I'm so enjoying reading your essays every week. They always bring such a relatable presence with an informative take on the midlife space. I appreciate your midlife sensibility and the lens with which you share it. Thanks for the links! Useful and also helps me prioritize what's worthy of my attention.

I was so on board with you until…the comment about closet square footage. It invalidated everything you wrote. You clearly want as much closet space as possible, because you want more clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. But, you will never have enough…🥲

wow!! thinking dina’s essays may not be for those lacking sense of humor!

one of the many reasons I love reading her writing is because it’s like sitting with a close girlfriend~

little bit of humor, a little bit of sarcasm and a lot of genuine authenticity…

Honestly that’s exactly how I hope a reader will feel- like she’s sitting with a close girlfriend. Thank you so much- means the world to me, and you truly made my day xx

There wasn’t anything humorous in that essay…another authenticity there.
