<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI met the @therealhoarse in person a year ago today and I am irreversibly changed by him for the better. I know I am becoming a much stronger and more benevolent human for having met him and spent time with him,\u201d she began. <\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I had the pleasure of meeting Mike<\/strong>, I was initially and immediately attracted to his writing. It\u2019s heartfelt, authentic, smart, funny, sensitive, caring, and from the soul. And the way he puts words together is just sooo ridiculously beautiful. \ud83e\udd29 I\u2019m a big fan, can you tell? And as luck would have it, the human being in person is exactly as heartfelt, authentic, sensitive and caring as his writing. And wickedly witty. \ud83d\ude02,\u201d Valerie<\/strong> continued.<\/p>\nShe said, \u201cI feel so lucky to have gotten to know him, and to really see him and soak up his insights. I value all of our long conversations and they have lead me to interesting and fascinating places I rarely thought to go. I look at life with a different perspective and caring because of my experiences and conversations with him. And he\u2019s been a big part of helping me heal from some old childhood wounds I never knew what to do with or even where to start.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I suggest you subscribe to Hoarse Whisperings Substack and you\u2019ll get the beautiful gift of what it\u2019s like to be in his orbit. Or, as I think he might put it, to pull up a chair and sit at his big table in community and conversation. Thank you, Mike<\/strong>, we may no longer be a couple, but you\u2019ll always hold a very special place in my heart. Love you. \u2665\ufe0f,\u201d Valerie<\/strong> concluded. <\/p>\n<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
