| Introduction | I spend much of my life in voluntary exile, moving about in the world, but never really feeling a part of it. I used to feel as if I was a ghost, an echo of a person. I could influence things and if I concentrated really hard, I could even move things - but no one really noticed me, missed me, or loved me. Today, I know that I matter. I matter because I am here, because I am alive, still blessed with this gift we call Life. I know that I matter because, no matter how deeply I crawl into my cave to avoid being bothered, I cannot get EVERYONE to leave me alone. ~laughs~ Additionally,(and this is sad, really) I know that I matter and that I have always mattered in the way that my life, my behavior, and even my own bitterness impacted my children. Had I not mattered, I wouldn't have impacted so deeply their lives and the lives of my ex-husband and so many others. And now...I must be about the business of eliminating bitterness from my own life and the lives of those I touch. I must be about the business of Being Love. |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
When I wake up and find myself naked, alone, and stranded in a corn field in the middle of nowhere.
