Gerda, you will be missed! Not just your wise, thoughtful, caring words, but your voice.
Cardinal, these words are especially kind/helpful. I am suffering a confidence crisis with my writing, trying to get something out there (finished but to get it OUT there) and letting the process crush me a little too much. It means a lot that you feel a connection with my VOICE, that gives me a lot of courage. XO
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
