You deserve so much more than you've been given. Those words on the two torn papers..so inspiring. Frame them. Put them up somewhere in your house. Each sentence is a prayer. ♡♡♡

I am so sorry you had such a difficult day. Your piece today communicated much more elegantly a phrase I tell myself on tough days, “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”

Sad in a way, but SO beautiful -- life is so hard...but you continue to inspire me every day. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Elizabeth -- and your kids must know how lucky they are with a mom like you!

Sending love and appreciation for all you share with us. I am sorry for what caused you such sadness today. But there is strength in carrying on, which is what you do. I have forgotten the name of the African-American woman who said this, but it’s fitting.. “We do this ‘til we free us” ( found her: Mariame Kaba wrote it.)

I am so sorry you and your family have to deal with this painful challenge, but if anyone has the resolve to preserve, it is you, Elizabeth. Sending you much love and light for comfort and strength.

Thank you Elizabeth. I read this earlier and just came back to it. It's so real and so moving -- we're all experiencing different levels of loss -- in family and within the greater community too. Such a good reminder that we are stronger than we think we are (as you recently said in a video) and that we must go forward and not give up. Thank you again for your wisdom and encourgement
