Blessings to you all from Washington State.

I'm currently sitting in the Spiritual Care office of St Peter's hospital, the same building in which I was born 27 years ago next Thursday.
I have attempted to write and post several times over the course of the summer, but the computer at the house where I have been staying seems to have a specific block that only targets new posts in this particular format. Odd, I say the least.
The summer has been full. CPE has been rewarding, as I have delved inward, built community, and discovered that working with people with dementia can be riotous fun. I preached to my home church for the first time since learning how to go through the full process, which was intimidating but powerful. And, I have adored living in Olympia again after 6 years as a domestic ex-pat, which was my biggest fear for this summer.
These two months have been more rewarding than I had hoped.

Now, just for a little notice - I finally figured out how to track where my readers (0-5 per day) are coming from, and how they get to this website. I've discovered that there are a few blogs out there that have linked to me without telling me (Namely, Levellers and Prog(ressive) Nostications). While I am horribly flattered, and will return the link, I would love to be notified in the future when such unknown alliances appear. Also, there seems to be one reader in Georgia who keeps returning to my page. Please leave a comment so I can hear back fron you!

Thanks, everyone, and you'll hear more from me when I have access to a computer that doesn't detest blogger (I know, promises promises....).

Mizpah,
Amy
