Thanks Faith for the original rec. Definitely hit home. I had to order them online and it took FOREVER to arrive. Lots to digest and go through. Have started N.U.T.S. and have even more to work through. It's going to take time.
I've already asked her to dinner and she's said yes which I know was not easy for her to do as she is very conscious about not "stringing me along" or giving me "false hope."
