I have always wondered about the people who stayed at Shakespeare & Co. What a fabulous story. As I listen to your podcasts, I am always inspired by your confidence and encouragement of female writers. I am grateful that you let us see behind the curtain at the process that made you the inspiring person you are now. Keep up the good work and thank you for this piece.

Thanks, Brooke, for your vulnerability as you share about your Tumbleweed days. We’ve all had them. Periods when shattered relationships make connections seem too scary or painful, or unsafe to undertake. So, it makes sense to tumble for a while, medicating and pretending all is well when we know something is really broken inside. Thanks for sharing. I embrace this shadow side. Thank God for George and his safety net.

Dear Brooke,
Thank you for this touching story regarding the tumbleweed years of your life. I had goosebumps by the end. Your authenticity and vulnerability shone throughout the piece. Those are amazingly difficult years in everyone’s life; when we start to discover ourselves, our dreams, and our visions. I see this all the time, and every generation seems to have to deal with it in their own way.
Again, thank you for this beautiful piece!
Sayeh
