The lesson that all of us can take away from you is to listen to your inner voice/heart. What you do with your life is inconsequential (as far as I'm concerned) - it's how you do it that matters.<br /><br />With blessings and gratitude - Fran Fran Sorinhttp://www.fransorin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-60955421364048924642013-08-20T13:57:47.729-07:002013-08-20T13:57:47.729-07:00Madeline, I'm sorry to hear about your summer ...Madeline, I'm sorry to hear about your summer of loss and challenges.

What an incredible gift and one your inner being is honing during your blogging sabbatical. We miss you, of course, but more importantly, bless you for honoring your heart and fulfilling your God-given mission.<br /><br />Selfishly, though, I'll be glad when you're back in the writing saddle. You have a way with words that moves me like few others do. Until then, keep doing what you're doing and feel all the love that surrounds you!Beth W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11557597970305739844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-42441560527753255952013-08-14T11:46:58.329-07:002013-08-14T11:46:58.329-07:00I have really missed your posts.
