I’m loving this alphabet soup part 2 (I’ve re-read it several times) and I’m secretly hoping for a part 3 (*fingers crossed*). I absolutely adore how your header is actual alphabet soup!

I don’t have much to say because I read this with ~ whimsey ~ but my favorites are Chicken, Kindness, and Song. They’re so beautiful (yes, chicken too… I lol-ed so hard but this woman’s love for Florence made me smile. I hope she found her!).

How long does it take you to write alphabet soup? Is it something you work on over a long period of time? I still haven’t tried my own version 😅 looking for tips!

Wow, so many gems here. But Chicken wins. I'd love to meet her, she sounds awesome.

Didn't know that about Coppola. I'm definitely in his camp, I have been treasuring those hours for years now. Will start thinking of them as a shield now.

Loved "Tell me about the quietest corners of your life.". I'm going to start using it as a starting question. Goes in hand with Unknown.

"Be thoughtful with your thoughtfulness." -> That should be on the subway, or on an ad on the highway.

It all reads as if you've been eavesdropping quite a bit, what message does the city whisper as a whole?

Again, so many gems. Eagerly waiting for Part III!

I am too Chicken to write with my As-Is mentality resulting in Boring content 💙 your experimental formats!

I have a mountain bike I use because we have a lot of trails near my house, but I also use it on the street. I've been investing in the right clothing, but I have a funny story about that which I'm actually writing about for my next newsletter. In any case, it's worth investing in the right gear to stay out there in the real life elements.

...absolutely beautiful content. Don't ever forget, great humor is jubilant kinetics. Love makes nothing obvious. Powerful quotes. Radical songs. Truths universally viewed. Why x-ist? Your zines...

These are all little treasures, like charming windows looking out of a hobbit hole. The isolation one resonated with me too. I think it's why I've been so committed to using my bike in the city as much as possible.

I want to be in dialogue with all of these. I have a terrible zucchini bread memory, too! And how I loved, “I don’t want your elevator pitch. You don’t need to be impressive or entertaining every moment. Tell me about the quietest corners of your life. What was the most mundane moment of your day? Can my boring meet your boring?” Yes! Thank you for this alphabetic art, Sandra.

Francis Ford Capala and Isolating really clicked with me. This was a nice read :- )
