Thanks, Lise.... you are so very special to me. Means alot to me to be appreciated and cared for by you.
And I hear you about not feeling valued. As I've learned to differentiate between that and feeling needed, alot of old nonsense has been purged.
You deserve the respect of your peers, Lise, as do I. Knowing that we really do deserve it makes it a whole lot less vital whether or not we receive it, I think.
Thank you for always offering to communicate, too... I really wouldn't know where to begin, at this point, but just knowing that you're willing to hear gives me great happiness

Makes me happy, also, to think of you resting and recreating up north, away from all the ruckus.
(((((((Lise))))))) I can only imagine how difficult it was for you to resign from your beloved parish and I'm sorry it hurts so much; it's a very lovely place... at least, on the outside. But I'm absolutely certain that you'll find a place and people with a deep, inner loveliness... and maybe even where you least expect it

God is just cool, that way.
Hey, I will email you soon, okay?
Love,
Carolyn
