Hello Zoe, greetings from Cumbria! I’m a big Julian of Norwich fan and have a painting outside my Pender home with All Shall Be Well on it. It helps me too. Sending hugs.

Hey Jo, how delightful you too are a Julian of Norwich fan as well. Thanks for the hug; I'll take them with gratitude and send a couple back your way.

Beautiful shared introspection. My word? Well, you mentioned my mantra, Julian of Norwich's "All will be well," but I'll also include a Dolly Parton quote that I used in an essay about my travel struggles in India: "If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain."

Oh Joy, your pairing of Julian of Norwich with Dolly Parton is delightful. What do they call it in Japanese cooking, the umami? It gives a savoury depth. Thanks! You're making me chuckle.
