Well my writing group loved it too and have taken your questions into their editing. And I'm going to put a link to this on the newsletter I send out to those who attend or have attended my writing groups. It has got me thinking about so much of life too. Love it when a post stays with me X

I love this! Coincidentally my word for 2026 is curiosity.

Oh this is so wonderful! What a fantastic word for the year, so expansive!

Absolute mic drop moment! "anxiety and curiosity can’t exist in the brain at the same time"

Right? It was for me too!

Hi Susannah, another great article. Love that kids are so naturally curious and hate that as adults we so often go the other way. Thank you for the mention x

Yes, whenever I see vibrant octogenarians interviewed they usually talk about having a childlike curiosity still. I think it keeps us young at heart. And thanks for letting me read your fab book!

Like all beings, the cat will die anyway. Might as well face the living bit with curiosity.

You have certainly done your part to guide and nurture my curiosity. And, having recently been scratched and nibbled by one, I’m grateful not to have—or be—a cat.

Haha yes we might as well live curious lives since we're all going to die anyway, brilliant!! Sorry to hear about the cat incident. I wonder if it was curious as to what a human tasted like?

Oh, I don’t begrudge the little monster a nibble. She seemed quite happy to sample any humans within reach. She may have been curious or perhaps she loves violence. My money is on the violence.
