The blip below was originally emailed to Nan on 9/18, then shared with Eryn a week or so ago.  It's at least the starting point for the changes that are going on within me right now.

( *sigh* okay... let's see if i can figure out where to start. i guess we'll just go day by day. that's probably easiest. )

disclaimer to my friends: this is long. it's been a very emotional, spiritual morning and i thought it easiest to just keep an email open to record my thoughts over the course of the day rather than try to remember and recreate it all later tonight. if it seems disjointed, i apologize in advance. my mind is not my own today.
