Happy belated birthday! So happy it was a good one as it was much deserved.
Just jumped over to Newcomers (for some reason I have always stuck to MLC and here) and figured out why you feel the need to take a break. It is tough because we meet people at various points in their journey. It takes time for advice to resonate.
I just want you to know that you helped me so very much when my h had a MLC. And I have watched you help so many others here. You have touched so many lives. Just don’t want you to take a break without realizing that your voice here is also a huge check in life-success column for you. It is oftentimes too thankless.
Thank you for all the incredible support you always offer.
