holy crap!! that's amazing. i don't know how you've done it, but i am completely impressed. i think i'm reading the some of same books that i was working on when you left, and some new ones, too! i would love to blaze through books with speed someday to get through them all, but somehow, i keep telling myself that by being surrounded by them, i'm absorbing them through my quiet mind. yeah, right. wouldn't that be nice. :) i look forward to hearing your plans for the next phase of your adventures and am almost sad for you to come back. i hope you can figure out how to keep yourself out there in the beyond. xo
