I loved the idea as soon as you mentioned it to me. Just like you, I am looking for community - many of us are. But all of us have limited time. Even if we have all the time, we have limited time - and probably a touch of ADHD.
I immediately pictured the space as a little Café, it was a French Café in my head. I'm am quietly sitting at a little round table. I am enjoying a hot tea. In the corner, there are a few selected magazines and some of those wooden newspaper sticks on the wall. In my head, the chair is comfortable, even though bistro chairs never are. I have about 15 minutes before I need to dive back into the hustle and bustle of the world - and I'd like to insert one new thought into my brain before I dive back in - some little story or connection that could entertain me all day. I can't wait to stop by.
I love love love your description of the French Cafe. I used to have a painting of one on my living room wall. I just gave it to someone a few weeks ago. It’s what I held onto in my mind also as I was creating this. Thank you so much again for the friendship and all your wisdom. It means so much to have someone in our corner. I appreciate your advice and kindness!!
Thank you so much! I’ve only been able to write one so far and am eager to write more. No one is recommending anyone though. Didn’t realize how tuff it would be to have people share why they enjoy reading someone’s work. Some day.
I love how you are focused on creating community with Selected Stacks. Like you, when I find a writer I like, I explore more of their work.
Thank you Sandra. I hope it helps everyone.

Love this idea and am curiously excited to see where it leads!

All great ideas need water, sunlight, and time to sprout. Finding enjoyment in the process is its own reward--
Thank you for your encouragement.
How short are short posts 😉
I think yours are mostly short posts from what I’ve read. I love how real you are with your posts! And the personal photos are amazing that you share!
Thanks Lori ❤️
May I nominate my own Substack?
I’d rather it be based solely on nominees.
I just thought I’d ask. I totally get it. 😁
Doesn't hurt to ask, that's for sure!!
I would like to recommend @RolandoAndrade for selected stacks. He writes "Outside the Therapy Room". His posts are short and they always make me think. https://substack.com/@rolandoandrade?r=2s5ssb&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page
Thank you.
This is awesome Lori!!!
Thank you so much!!
