Notice! I am going to let this website go soon. When the hosting expires, I am not going to renew it. I have owned this site for almost 10 years, and it's time to move on to other things. Many thanks to all of you who wrote, laughed, cried, took courses, bought books and journals, emailed with your responses to the prompts, joined and unjoined the newsletters and have stopped by at Wordpress and Twitter. There is nothing like the joy of sharing your inner self in a trusting place, so thanks for creating it. It was all of you who made this place, not me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
