You're welcome Eliza. I try to be respectful here, not offer unsolicited advice, and show some support. A lot of what you write resonates with me, and I know with others also, so the thanks goes to you.
I'm glad you like my phrase. I'm a bit of a knucklehead but that just came to me and, reading it back, I sort of like it too. It's just as relevant to me as it is to others.
Keeping it as close to you as your shield, sword and axe must mean you treasure it indeed. That's cool...And I dig that you're a shield-maiden. There's not enough in this watered-down world of ours.
