Bursting

by Julie O’Heir

Dear Dr. Chmiel,

I am about half way through the book, and it is simply amazing. I am reading it during all of my free time, so I hope to finish within 2 or 3 days. I have a habit of taking books I am reading in my purse when I go out, so I had the chance to read at Llewellyen’s while listening to a cover band play, “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright.” It was the first time in a while I felt like I needed to journal or I would burst.

Thank you for sharing this story with me/SLU/the world. It takes a lot of courage to share things like that, I can barely tell me best friend such things.

Thank you for your friendship.

Thank you for your love with/for Mev. It gives me patience for love to come & gratitude for love already gone.

Thank you for showing me the way, any way, every way. Whenever/wherever I go, you will have been part of my journey.

Peace,

Julie
