I am moving forward at so many deep levels that some times I disconcert myself. The movement looks non-existent on the outside as I have needed a couple of days of much sleep and little activity, but this is misleading. I have been doing a huge amount of internal processing and 'coming to terms with' how things are for me and how they will be in the future. I have enjoyed some space. No pressure. Read. Think. Think. Read.
The review of Boff's book has gone off - so I have a sense of real acheivement. I can do some things. Reading the book was a good exercise in finding out what still fires me and community etc... still does. Boff is a prophet - he was a good place to start in testing my resolve! I also heard that a place has become available for a conference in July which I desperately wanted to go on when I was well last year - but when I went to book around this time last year - all the places had been taken - they have had a cancellation and I have an application form. Will I be well enough is the only question. What is well is the slightly bigger one. At the moment I am feeling nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Thank you again for all the wonderful support. M - do give everyone my love. I am there is spirit. Yes, I do need your support and encouragement. Thank you ALL.
Dear Jane

I can only re-enforce what C has said, you HAVE journeyed so far and yes it has felt like an up-hill struggle, BUT the strides you have made are huge, Nothing venture is nothing gained, book your place and journey towards that. You can and are moving forward, All your friends are right there beside you and will always be there for you.
Much love Gwen
