“I 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,” she began.
“Before I had the pleasure of meeting Mike, I was initially and immediately attracted to his writing. It’s heartfelt, authentic, smart, funny, sensitive, caring, and from the soul. And the way he puts words together is just sooo ridiculously beautiful. 🤩 I’m 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. 😂,” Valerie continued.
She said, “I 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’s 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.”
“May I suggest you subscribe to Hoarse Whisperings Substack and you’ll get the beautiful gift of what it’s 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, we may no longer be a couple, but you’ll always hold a very special place in my heart. Love you. ♥️,” Valerie concluded.
