Since I am reading this late, I hope you had a lovely birthday. Thanks for sharing this part of yourself with us. I came to your site today to read about the closing of two peas and info concerning your workshops but after reading that I scrolled down and found this post. So thankful I did. Thanks for your honesty and sweet spirit. I really needed to read this today and to be guided to Psalm 43. God is real and he sends his message to us in many different ways and today it was you. :)
