that's funny that you should post this one, okarol. i submitted my post/essay 'the healing of the spirit' to that site, just before i posted it here.
i don't expect to win, really, because i think they're looking for stories of kittens and puppies
and all that touchy-feely slop that i can't stomach.
my hope is that it will be useful for others, in some way.
love

Yes, great minds think alike. That contest is run by Lori Hatrwell's Renal Support Network that I mentioned in the other thread!
