Martha - I actually think in pictures, which can sometimes be inconvenient, but when relating, the metaphors are handy
amd - To be honest, I'm not too surprised it struck a chord, I see so many similarities in our paths. I've dug up an old thread that I think might be just as interesting to you as it was to me. See below.
H2H - I'm glad I was able to answer your question. The stuff to chew on is never ending, isn't it?
Matilda - Welcome, and glad this is of help.
