it is fascinating, then it gets redundant, then you just want to be free, then you really freak out and wonder if you are always going to go in circles and experience the same things over and over.  Then after completely losing it you resign yourself to the experience and come to some sort of acceptance.</p> <p>This is my daughter in the women’s bathroom…only an hour into the five hour

bounced ideas off each other with a subconscious seamless intuition.  Whatever the outcome, I am so grateful for the experience.  </p> <p>It would not do any of this justice if I didn’t give Hattie
