Thank you, thank you for sharing LIVING SMALL with your readers. This post reminds me of my desire for a Substack "women's group."

I love championing the informal but crucial communities of women’s professional support.

I imagine you have quite a few yourself. I think of you as my "virtual" community, often saying the things I need to hear -- even if they're not right to me.

I imagine you are and just call it "talking to friends." But I could be wrong! Let's get you one, Jenny.

Damn. I thought my generation solved the 'problem' for yours. :( In fact, as Peggy MacIntosh once told me, " The good stuff doesn't happen in the center. It happens to those of us on the outside looking in, so that we can bear witness." And that's what you do- Liz, every time you write. Thank you.

This is very relatable. This is actually the first time I sent my boss a link to a substack post! We are feeling it.
