That vitality isn't there when I discuss the memoir.<br /><br />I really am feeling much better, but I"m trying to listen to my body as I wend my way through a couple of illnesses and find a sure footing for my writing and blogging. I do plan on continuing the on-line memoir. This coming Thursday I hope to review a book I got to edit and then I'll start with my life again--either my early schooling or the days after I left the convent. So much to share! Isn't life wonderful?!?!? And thanks you so much for your help in all this.

A very wise editor, who is now my agent, once admonished me to "write from your heart, write the book you HAVE to write..."
