Weather here or abroad people can sense when you love yourself. Finding connections is organic when we are not burdened with the weight of the world. Thanks for taking us along Susan.
Thanks chuck! I will definitely connect with her. Third spaces are more important than ever. And I am fully embracing that my car and other things can create pop up spaces that convene and connect.
What a delight and inspiration to read this! A reminder to find third spaces when at home and to be open to the magic and unexpected that can happen. Enjoy!
Beautiful writing and love the idea of third spaces -- and how other things can make places into third spaces. The Blue Car! Dogs! A beautiful piece of clothing! I do believe that we will soon enough have the ability to see what we have in common with others (or not) virtually so we can connect more easily. Maybe a good thing or bad thing or both.... Enjoy your in-between time -- sounds as if you really are. Your curiosity for the world is inspirational to me.
Lovely, Susan. And: Blair and I got engaged on a picnic blanket on the grounds of Kenwood House. Back in the 1990s, perhaps still now, summer concerts there ended in fireworks. Funny this comes out to remind me of that moment exactly a week after my eldest got engaged! Enjoy London.
This is beautiful Susan! I love the imagery in your writing.
Thank you!

Hi Craig. You have put this so beautifully. Thank you!
Hi Susan. Cool. You should align with Karen Christensen who is revising/modifying Oldenberg’s book. She is very active on Substack

I get lazy at home and sometimes don’t search them out. I am going to try to be better about that.

Oh, I love the idea of dogs and beautiful clothing being third places. You are so right! My mind is buzzing with possibilities now.
Hoping that you will have a great week ahead!!!
Thanks! It has been stimulating and just lovely so far!
Such a lovely piece of writing, Susan! Love seeing London through your eyes and your words!
Hello Wendy. If I recall you often search out third places to write. They can be inspirational.
There you are. Breaking binds and creating threads! Lovely. Thank you for bringing us along
And thanks so much for reading me Liza. I love London but sorry I missed the latest snow!

I love this alignment of places and events. What a lovely place to get engaged!
Beautiful. I never heard the expression "third place," and it says so much.
Lovely writing, and even more lovely is your ability to open up your world and experience it in a different way.
And we need these third places more than ever!
