Love this week’s Sunday Candy header! How did you make all your colors melt and ripple like that? It reminds me of dripping paint on a canvas, or sidewalk chalk drawings washing away in the rain.

“I’m always surprised by how much of those someones I still carry with me…” I often find myself here too, and I like it - especially holding onto the someones that make us feel better and the someones that helped us grow. I too hope that those someones have a bit of us in them too. Could it be the closest thing we have to telepathy?

Sitting with the idealist and realist section.

Your section on constellations is beautiful, I feel the splendor!

And I’m sending you all the daydreams and sunbeams 🌞✨ Thanks for another week of tenderness <3

First, I really like your cover art today! I don’t know why, something about it makes me feel happy. I’m a big fan of your hand written notes. I haven’t thought about *if* my words have stuck with someone but when someone tells me something I said did stick with them (good or bad) it reminds me that we never know when what we’re saying is impacting someone. Now I want to look at the stars and wonder what those things could have been. Or maybe it’s easier to reflect on the words that have stuck with me. Another deep, thoughtful (and written) essay!

Love your writings! When you talked about the stars I thought about the night sky in Zimbabwe. So dark and loud with the night chatter of the insects.

LOVELY! "Moving through the world carrying two sights at once" --- awwww such a banger quote, I will pin this onto my desk! Beautifully hand-written and rendered tender with a sense of peaceful and thoughtful existence, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside :D

Loving these last several editions with handwritten notes. They feel like they are personalized for me.

New font, new you. Is the new logo handwritten? <3

Each note is a meditation. Can you ASMR us with an audio reading of each note?

And oooof the catastrophic line.

Your notes are working to help me stay tender. Love them Sandra. Beautifully shared notions for the spirit.

Loved it, Sandra. And loved that your handwriting changes. Mine is like that too. I cannot start and end a handwritten document with the same calligraphy. I guess it depends on the mood and a million other circumstances and thoughts that linger over my being at some particular point. In any event, I really enjoyed this issue. :)

The number 26 is very special for me, and this Sunday Candy matched with it perfectly, added to the fact that I'm receiving it on the 13th for the time difference, which is my favorite number.

My love for specific numbers ends there, just a small detail that will now be attached to Someone Sandra. Loved how you expressed those thoughts!

The tension between Realist and Idealist is real, and I think in that balance is where the complicated but interesting part of life lies.

The stars section is so beautiful! "My eyes loyal to the spaces in between", "they belong to me", oooff... really enjoyed reading it a few times.

Also, do you have more than one type of handwriting? I'm amazed at that. I only have one and, as previously mentioned, it's pretty ugly.

Saving the playlist for tomorrow :)
