I really enjoyed this conversation between Jasper and Chris meeting with Noelle and Dolly. I like how Nurse Kristin mentions, “Listen there are no accidents, only collisions.” I love this philosophy. :)

Thank you, Neil! It was a really fun collaborative effort. Kind of worlds in collision.:)

Thank you Neil. I truly enjoy writing with Heidi and the critters.

So not to veer off topic, but several years ago in Trauma Nursing, the terminology changed from MVA (motor vehicle accident) to MVC (motor vehicle collision) to acknowledge there are always causative factors at play even if they're unknown.

Needless to say it resonated within me so I incorporated it into my life philosophy as well

I'm surprised and also delighted that you picked up on this particular phrase :)

It’s a subtle but critical distinction in the language. When I saw it in your draft, I had to include it. Profound, Kristin.:)

We agree, although my girls can't get over me referring to myself in the third person lately 😂

Being referred to in the 3rd person does get some getting used to!

Noelle and Dolly sound as if they are right at home in the Garden State. Active and full of moxie.
