Whether it's a blog where you're sharing your thoughts and your journey or a novel that entertains, a memoir that helps you identify with your life trajectory -- it's all there in written form.<br /><br />PS -- Great imagery, I can imagine your 12 year-old self, bubbling in the scantron and hoping for confirmation of your heart's desire.

I think those of us with the urge to help others, who feel compassionately, who want to make the world better, often find our words the most effective way to heal.<br />By the way, you made the sign of the cross in a perfectly acceptable way--that's how those in Eastern Rite or Eastern Orthodox churches make it. :)Faith E.

I mean really, what can a bubble or graph on a page tell you about an intuitive yearning in your heart? But it's beautiful, how you've come full circle now. A writer IS a healer. Books are my favorite medicine and therapy. :) Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634681223129304563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-8630687553298015022013-03-06T06:54:23.819-05:002013-03-06T06:54:23.819-05:00Sometimes we don't go with our guts instincts ...Sometimes we don't go with our guts instincts as to what to do as a career at first. It's great that you're on your way to fulfilling what you seem to be destined to do. Sorry I haven't been commenting on your blog, I fell off the blogosphere for a while, but I'm trying to get back on it!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677623973651031381noreply@blogger.com
