Thanks Daisy! One of those that just came to me. Opening lines are so important and sometimes hard to find so I’m grateful when they simply appear.

My favorite writing is what impels and inspires me to sit down with my pen and get at it. Sometimes even before finishing said piece that first inspired! Glad to be of assistance. FTR: I am not a lactating breast seeker, though I have tried it once almost forty years ago.

I was about thirty years old. It was too rich, but seeing as my mother did not breast feed her kids I had to try. Not my mother’s mind you.

Love the spontaneity. The allowing the mind to move. You're great at finding little imaginative folds within which to implement these motions. Very energetic and enjoyable.

Striking fear in the heart of the reader “perhaps I should stop right here.”
