i NEEDED to read this. although it's not something i didn't know before... i think that i may have misplaced it somewhere inside my head & i need the reminder. i can seriously say that this is in my top 5 of favorites that i've seen on this board since i got here (& yes i know it's not THAT long) but it was beautiful and calm and inspiring and insightful. like i said, i NEEDED to read this. so Ms. Loni, thank you!
