...have you ever been interested in a patronage situation? (Brought a snicker.)

So many questions come to mind from your answer to Maureen’s question. I was fascinated! What drew you to Saratoga Springs? What preceded it? What have you loved from your experiences? What have you learned? Can you tell I love questions? So many people simply do not know what to say and out comes words that are meaningless. I might be tempted to give Maureen the benefit of the doubt, but no.

I believe encouragement is good when it is heart-felt and done with positive intent. Maureen preceded hers with a belittling comment, which tainted her encouragement. It has the ring of falseness which never feels good.

Thank you for the thought-provoking post, Emily!
