sleepless in seattle

Sleepless in Seattle. Seriously...I think we all had no more than 4 hours sleep per night. There was too much excitement. Not to mention body clocks a wee bit off due to different time zones. I remember a night when I tip toed from bed to bed. Climbing up to the bunk bed above Susannah and then crawling into the middle of a three way spoon with Letha and Thea...then back to my bunk and so on. My heart and mind were racing. So many times I stared up at the ceiling in disbelief that we were all together in body. I had written, phoned, emailed these women for almost a year and here they all were in the flesh under one roof. It took some time for all of us to get used to one another in motion, in 3D, well...that would be 4D really since I could touch them, wouldn't it? It was like one huge blind internet date. The seven of us all standing in Letha's living room giggling and tripping out over our first live moments together. I recall grabbing a couple of their faces and saying "You're Real!".

This past year has been one of the most beautiful as well as one of the most difficult years of my life. These women have gathered around me in spirit for so long...and now they were sandwiching me in between all of their bosoms in a group hug. It was so surreal.

So folks...the connections you are making via this blog world are indeed real. Sometimes that is hard to believe...or it feels too good to be true but in my experience, these wonderful souls I have been drawn to in blogosphere are even more amazing in person. I believe we are all drawn to one another cosmically because being together felt as though I had been with them lifetimes before.

Words are hard to find when thinking about what I just experienced. So, I decided to post pictures instead. I think you'll feel the magic and see their beauty through the pixels...
