Isa Catto's Swimming at Altitude

Staying afloat after extreme loss and exploring a new horizon.

Isa Catto's story on introversion was recommended by @Susan Cain, which is recommendation and high praise enough for me. It was a joy to read that piece: the pure joy of being carried along in a great story told by a gifted writer. Then I read "Whole Lotta Love," and all I can think is that I want to offer a toast: "to finally finding the love and appreciation that everyone -- but especially such lovely and loving souls as her -- deserve!"
