Hi, heavenly and Ms. P., and I hope BETTY!

I am trying this out, for the very first time. Thanks, Celeste, for setting us up. I wanted to let you know the title of the book I was talking about tonight that meant so much to me: It's called THE WOUNDED STORYTELLER: BODY, ILLNESS, AND ETHICS by Arthur Frank. Thanks for all your feedback, questions, notes today! It was so much fun to talk with you about everything and get your comments. I promise to get better pics up on my profile, esp. the profile photo which didn't come out too clearly. It's a sign beside a dirt road that reads, "Prepare to Meet Thy God." Talk about southern Calvinism, that old-time, hard, hard religion! It's here, now!

WELCOME!!!

Hey ladies, I'm not sure how this works, but at least we'll be able to post til our heart's content here! I'm going to start with a link that the lovely Dorianne Laux sent me herself just today!
