Ahh ... I viewed this in my inbox. But just now I realised that the post
itself is not members-only! I was able to see it in an "incognito" tab in
my browser, so it can be shared that way! 🙂

I'm with you, Suzanne - let's keep it simple! ❤

The link, for anyone who want to share it, is:

My posts celebrating Harrison on LinkedIn and Mastodon got more shares and
reactions than usual. So I know people care :-)
