You know what I told B when he came by the other day to help me hang my African wood carving on the porch? He said wow, I can’t believe you got all this to come together. I said, well wow, let me tell you what I learned about myself – a lesson to the wise – I have qualties in me that were brought to the forefront perforce – they are endurance, preseverance, and faith – and I had them in spades the last twenty two months because I couldn’t have done this otherwise. <\/p>\n

Had I listened to those who said there are no choices, this is what it is, I would have been in a bind. But I listened to the voices in my head – and let me tell you they are freaky sometimes, but most of the time, they are guiding me in the right direction. <\/p>\n
