There's just so much I want to respond to in this...but I just need to be transported to that kitchen so that over a few cups of tea, I could visit and just talk with you. I'm going to skip over everything I want to say and tell you: thank you for the transparency and vulnerability in writing this. I hope that as you continue to sit in your quiet and work on your inner substance, that you will begin to see just a glimpse of what we all do: one of the brightest shining stars that has graced this planet with her authenticity and love that truly remodels this earth in gorgeous hues and wonder, we all want to stay here on this earth - longer. And I hope when you are done with your memoir and you do embrace yourself in all your splendor, you'll come back and write and tell us all about it...because what a lesson it is that so many of us are also -- walking and learning.

Big hug. You got this...love you!
