crap I need to write

Thanks, everyone, for your encouragement. 

Julie:

I really appreciate your sharing on this. The idea of a mother-to-be/new mother being on a nearly a 3-year-long spiritual journey is wonderful -- and so true. What I'm finding though, is that there is just SO MUCH to take in from those experiences that it's hard to process them, overwhelming to reflect. So I find myself feeling the need to write, to make progress and take a step back to see it all more clearly, but, it's such a daunting task, so it gets put off "til later", "til they're asleep," "after I get some rest," "after dinner," or whatever.

I think I need some "white" time to just be.

I will write the "sexually frustrated in Walmart" piece...
