So fun. I’ve always identified with Eeyore, but I think I might be Piglet!!

I enjoyed reviewing and reflecting on your 100 Acre Wood characters so much - and usually I really dislike those “which one are you” quizzes. I identified most with Christopher Robin and his ginkgo - and my husband is definitely Eeyore. 😊

😂 He appreciates and is inspired by my endless impulse to listen, learn, connect and reimagine - and I rely on and am nourished every day by his solidity, reflectiveness, and quiet kindness. (So very different from my first husband!)

Yup, ditto. Kindness is No. 1 quality.

Then there’s putting up with me.

I especially liked the association of character/plant!

Thank you for this beautiful, creative respite from the news and the overwhelming worry. And the picture of your adorable pup. Travel safely!

I’m intrigued with this rabbit hole (warren?) in the Wood you’ve mapped.

Seems I’m part Piglet, part Christopher Robin, and always will be part Kanga—with my 3 grown Roos (and anyone else who needs a Kanga). But… much as that ginkgo calls to me now, my flower is still a sunflower, especially living near the ocean in New Jersey, so maybe I’m also a bit of Pooh too! 🌻

I’m married to a nearly 4th-quarter Tigger—a broadcast journalist in public radio, who still has the energy and momentum for responsible reporting after more than 50 years of doing it! 💗

Your archetypes are truly intriguing and lovely. Have you given them a home in a book?!

Haha, good idea. I will think about that that this summer.

Tiggers are truly charming energising souls. And they do have a secret talent in how to age.

Avoiding writing this as a book?! Okay, but please only avoid it for the summer. So full of wisdom and light!
