I am in a new place, partaking in the fears and joys of my surroundings. All I can say is that I am grateful. Being here in Washington is also imploring me to come to grips with the reality of my heart and my dreams. I have encountered the need for some major decisions concerning my future and I really do feel like I have time to breathe... and in essence hear myself think. I feel like I'm becoming me again and I smile more and enjoy the simple things like watching a blanket of fog wrap itself around the mountains or taking the time to laugh at the silly feathers on the heads of quail in my front yard. I still can't believe I have quail in my front yard! In Minneapolis, we have pigeons.
Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update on me. Although the journey has been long, I am here. I know God had a lot to do with the timing, and the gratefulness in my soul proves He was right about it all along.
