Please do. Don't do what I did, go away for a year. Bad move. I wasn't even hanging around here - another bad move. Can't get any help without hanging around where help is.
I'm reminded of some instructions for how to start a fire, using flint and tinder. You strike the flint, and get some tinder smouldering, then you gather some dry stuff together with the smouldering tinder, and blow gently (to feed oxygen to the fire). If you blow TOO HARD, you blow the flame OUT. You might want to let HER lead for a while, and see where she leads. If she leads back into the desert, then maybe she doesn't really get it after all. I'm hoping she'd be leading towards another oasis, but maybe some rock climbing along the way...
