This is your best piece ever, Carol. You shared your inner self so openly and drew be in to your world. In a way I envy your life. Your freedom, your mobility and richness of your hobbies and interests. You say you feel lonely at times, but I think you have the best chance to live your life your way. People surrounded by other people rarely have any time for themselves. And in order to please everyone, they crush their souls. Enjoy your freedom girl. You are the richest person I have ever known.
Thank you for that wonderful comment Neera. You really encourage me to get closer to my goal. I'm very concerned about homeless older American women who don't know what to do with themselves. Many are living out of their cars, mini vans or tents on the streets. I would like to encourage the homeless to find freedom in the van life and seek fulfillment by searching their creative side. I would like to reach that community if I only knew how. I care about the men and younger homeless women as well...but I'm more passionate about modeling my life for women who seek solutions for making a living and having the best life possible. Do you also feel concern Neera?
That is such a noble thought. Do you think you can reach them through the newsletter? They may not even be aware of Substack's existance. Is there any NGO agency who provides assistance to them? There are many soup kitchens or coffee outlets that provide food and morning coffee to the homeless. Maybe you should talk to people who run them and find out how you can reach them. Maybe you can volunteer at those places.
For campervan life style, maybe you should send this piece (or your future pieces) to magazines which target the retirees. Many pension funds have huge email lists to whom they send such online newsletters.
