Connie, I was at the event in Yellow Springs on 9/29. I was there to support Sherrod because I believe in the good work he does and the good man he is. But I was so excited when I learned you would be there as well to introduce him. I love reading your Substack essays. Your humanity and grace is ever present and always gives me hope for a better world.
I’m with Franklin and Walter on finding you fascinating! Your writing reminds me of my favorite author, John Steinbeck. You both have the incredible ability to create beautiful images with your words, thank you!
This is full of precious moments. Yesterday, the Defiance County Democratic Party hosted Susan Zeier and heard her story. Bless Senator Brown for listening to her and leading the way for the PACT ACT to be passed. I have a husband who served in Vietnam. a daughter who recently retired as a Colonel inthe Army Nurse Corp. and her twin our son served in the Army and fought in the 1st Iraq war. This new health service is a blessing to so many.
This reader from MA is writing postcards for Sherrod (a batch of them today, as a matter of fact) including the phrase Dignity Of Work (they tell us what to write and additional options depending on room). I love this postcards for voters initiative, perfect for introverts like me who express themselves better in writing than phone calls.
May he win and may the Government be filled to the brim with men and women of character who can work together through their differences to make things better.
Love your Ace of Hearts story. I mean, that IS a sign. Who stand in the midst of swirling leaves and finds a random playing card? Not an everyday occurrence.
Sure looks as if there’s a “Hopefully Yours Readers” community for Sherrod Brown! It’s awesome to see how many readers live outside Ohio and are writing postcards for Sherrod’s re-election!! I live in Ohio. In the past 2 weeks I suddenly started to feel deeply anxious about his chances. There’s a poll that has him 2 points down. The Moreno dark money ads claim Sherrod “is too liberal for Ohio,” despite his years of public service and successful campaigns. I’ve rarely seen so many negative ads. Deep pockets keep throwing millions of dollars into such ads. So, if you haven’t taken a deep breath and contributed $25 to Sherrod Brown for Senate 2024, now is the time to do so. (I’m sure you can find samples of these sickening ads on YouTube.)
Write away, Connie, and I will be reading avidly from my "safe place" across the pond (Switzerland).
I am no longer a US voter, but once upon a time I was – and even in the great state of Ohio, when I studied at Oberlin. The US, and the world, need more public servants of principle and conviction like Sherrod. Godspeed, both of you.
Wow just wow! What a good story. Catching up on my reading . Delightful! You will be just fine and have many new adventures. Love you both!
You help me find the joy

The political *is* the personal.
