A quick aside to Narcissa: my strength and love to that you already possess. I read your words and I can't help thinking that the people who know you are so fortunate.

A quick recommendation, for all: The Fluent Self. It won't be everyone's cuppa, but there's a fair bit of wisdom and compassion here, articulated with sufficient goofiness and groundedness that it doesn't make me want to go hack up Care Bears with a rusty axe. ;-)
