		<description>Wow.

What a beautiful post. I haven&#039;t read much of her other than her rape story. She spoke with such power in that story. Power in her vulnerability...

Thank you for your words. And for giving me yet another wonderful blog to read.</description>

		<description>So, so beautiful: your reasons for writing, your writing, you. Found you through &quot;A Design So Vast&quot; and feel privileged to be connected to you through such a tenuous and yet durable cord: a love for words, writing, blogging, mothering, life. Thank you.</description>

		<description>This made me well up with a storm of emotions. I get it. I strive for this. This is me too.

***
But something in me has an urge to reach out beyond the little snow globe that is my existence. And learn. About others. About different places – geographical and metaphysical. About different people. People with different pasts and different presents. With different experiences and emotions and struggles.

Nic is awesome. A fighter. A survivor. A diamond now who came through the rough already and shines through.</description>
