Claudia. I really appreciate that. As you know, I can't fake anything or act like I feel something that I don't. I know this journey is just beginning even though it'll be a year of July 18 and I'm so excited about what the future holds. Thank you for being part of that journey! 🤗💕🙏

My dad passed away when I was about that age as well. Mom and my sister lived with her parents- Let's stay in touch. I want to start a publication about the 5 types of wealth and only one is financial. All the best Joe.

I missed the Live but watched this this morning. Yes, you are a writer. A really good one. And a fantastic advocate. Thanks for sharing your journey here. 💖

Sheri, I finally realized that I was and I said it out loud. I might not know about headings and what size or the best punctuation or what writers learn when they go to writing school, but I'm getting better at it. I will advocate not only for my family and friends, but for anyone that needs it that can't advocate for himself until my last breath. thank you for watching and thank you for all your support friend.🥰🙏

Kathleen. losing a parent is the natural progression of life. What is truly a loss is not passing on some learned wisdom from the aged. Joe Z

hello Dr. Joe. I know and I've seen it firsthand probably more than most people being in the medical industry as a healthcare professional. It doesn't make it any easier. I lost my father, but he really wasn't involved in my life after age 10 and it really didn't bother me very much just except for lost time and things like that.

But I agree with you, not carrying and passing on the wisdom of our elders and ancestors is truly heartbreaking. As time passes by, I see it more and more and wish it wasn't so. I know it's different in different cultures.

Thank you for your time stopping by to read and comment. I really appreciate your insight.

Thank you, Kathleen, for your encouragement! Lately, I have felt unseen and unheard. No likes, no responses! I wonder if I’m even showing up on anyone’s feed?

I just sent you a DM with the photos and a screenshot of where you go to do this. I hope it helps. I'm sorry you didn't know about this. I didn't know about it either until someone brought it to my attention after almost 2 months.

I took a photo you're gonna go under your dashboard under settings on the left-hand side in that column go down to teams and make sure it's toggled to public. It won't let me attach the photo here.

Here's the instructions

To make your Substack publication visible (so it shows up on your author profile and is discoverable by others), check your Team visibility settings. Here’s how to find and enable it:

1. Sign in to Substack on desktop.

2. Click your profile icon (top right) and select Publisher Dashboard.

3. In the top nav bar, click Settings.

4. On the left sidebar, choose Team.

5. Find your name in the “Publication Team” list.

6. Under Visibility, toggle from private/hide to public/show.

Once this is set to public, your posts will appear on your profile’s “Posts” tab and be visible to readers

I just checked out your substack it's not turned on. I cannot see your substack- there's a setting you have to go to and I'm trying to remember where it is because the same thing was happening to me when I first started. Let me see if I can find it and I will come right back and answer you.
