Great piece, though I must admit my attention was unexpectedly hijacked by your choice of images. I couldn’t help but wonder about the wording of your prompts 😄

My prompts by now are basically a novel with therapy: and images spit out.

I really appreciate you reading! Thank you.

Comedic genius (your mom, that is). Screams classic mom of boys energy—toss in a challenge, add a sprinkle of mystery, and let chaos unfold! 😂

As always you are a master of the reviews and kindness.

For sure, mom of boys, chaos 100% of the time.

Thanks for reading!

I love the nut salad story!

I just had to tell it.

Nuts, bawls, salad - is it just me or is really about something else entirely?!

Sorry! I can't answer right now, I gotta take the phone call from Freud. 😜

You just made it acceptable to talk about my nuts in public!! 💙

Go big or go home. I hope there wasn’t already salad dressing on the salad. To put a plastic bag in that would be full on psycho

I guess my work here is done. 🤪

You are nut! So I didn't expect any less of ya.

Sometimes the nuts need to go in our mouths for us to find out if they are a fit.

Thank you for an entertaining read Antonio, and the reminder on commitment in creation!

"Antonio, not everyone likes nuts.”

These are just facts, Antonio.

You will just have to live with it.

So many questions.

What type of nuts were they?

I think the greatest part is that she squirrelled them away at the bottom of the salad.

Didn’t even unwrap them in a little side bowl.

I run programs on how we can build our courage practice - I now thing the one called Courage to Create might be better called the Courage To Go Nutty

My dear Caroline! They were walnuts, the smallest translucent bag you can imagine. I do believe my mother lacked a teacher such as yourself. I could do a substack just based on her food choices. In this case would be The Courage To Eat!

Almond mom?

I would love to teach her in the way of the nut.

🤣 I think almond mom should be your next project.

I so wish we could share imagines in the reply. I have a GPT for decision making - it would be such fun to ask it how to make a salad with nuts without putting any in.

Oh my, this is insane! Great storytelling.

Interesting text. The images are distracting and break things up too much.
