Thank you so much for your kind wishes – may you do the same. And thank you for being one of my longest-standing readers on here! I hope you agree that my writing has significantly improved over the years :’) x
You’re welcome. 😊
I’ve always enjoyed the clarity and depth of your writing, the pictures it paints in my mind as I read. And you have developed that beautifully. There’s even more depth and meaningful story contained within your words now.(Which is what I’m trying to get back to for myself) I’m super impressed. Keep it up and never stop writing, it matters! xo
You’ve made my day – THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! <3
You are extremely talented and I love reading your words. Congratulations on all those ❤️

Congratulations Helena! You deserve this and much more success. You’re a great writer ♥️ I loved your Emily Dickinson micro poem btw. It made me chuckle!
Thank you, kind soul – coming from as writer as talented as yourself, this is a HUGE compliment and is very much appreciated <3 <3 <3
I’m humbled by your words because I think you’re one of the best writers on WP. Your raw, uncompromising style of writing and dealing with hard reality makes the reader think and feel deeply. I’ve often read your posts and have felt a kick to the gut or a surge of emotion. You express yourself in a way that not many writers can. Once again you deserve all the success. Find your strength in writing dear Helena ❤️
