Sebene, I adore you and I am so glad you're here, and I'm really looking forward to your class in June and I am sending you much love and a gentle hug and big oof on the sepsis. And thank you!
Oh, Maud. I'm so grateful that we had the chance to meet and connect last fall and that I know we will be spending time together soon. Thank you for the warmth and kindness. Big love to you!!!
Iβve enjoyed your content for years (youβre my favorite on the 10 percent happier app & I have your book) and just upgraded to a paid subscription to show my gratitude. My husband is living with stage 4 cancer & with my experience as his caregiver, this post really resonated. He had a similar experience with sepsis, and I kept thinking how much more difficult it would be for someone who lived alone.
Awwww, Jen, thank you. I'm sorry you and your husband must contend with this. It's the worst. And I've found it does bring out the best in me at times. I'm holding you both in my heart. Thanks again for this kindness. I really appreciate it.
I have loved your work for years and am glad to be able to buy a paid subscription! May you be well. May you enjoy happiness in this day. May you be free.
Happy new moonπ in Ariesβ sis!!! So happy you joined Substack ππ½ Sending you healing and big love from Chicago. Now you π€£got me thinking of Idioms in Amarigna.

These only make sense when said in Amarigna π€£but still good ones to have ππ½
Happy new moon yene ihiti! PLEASE send me Amharic idioms!!
Yeneβ ehet! Good to hear from you π
Here are some Amarigna Idios I regularly useπ€£
Lib Adrek: heart dryer makes no sense but we use it all the time when someone is just nagging us
Lib anteltay: heart dangling, more like cliff hanger situation
Libu welek ale: his heart came off lol, but heβs just scared
Libe Biss: someone who forgets
Angeteβ Reka: my intestine is happy lol, when we are so satisfied
Gedel Geba: it went into a ditch, when our idea disappears etc
Demeβ Fela/Tenteketeke: my blood boiled lol
And my absolute favorite oneπ€: Kemeret tenessto metagn: he got up from the floor and hit me lol, all of a sudden, never translates well.
Wow. This is gold!! Thank you.
