I had my first drink, and liked it.
I uncovered the ability to be angry for myself.
I, we, maintained a relationship from the other side of the world
I enjoyed worshipping in solitude.
I got to know some of the most amazing women I've ever encountered.
I watched (from a great distance) my sisters grow into even more amazing young women.
I learned what it meant to be totally vulnerable.
I pondered my actions and their repercussions more than I ever have.
I prayed, intentionally, seeking guidance and calm and clear sight.
I doubted everything I've ever believed.
I feared for my life.
I got my head x-rayed.
I started to run again - a joyful experience.
I dreamed about my future, our future.
I experienced true hospitality.
I understood what 'pay-it-forward' means.
I walked without a limp.
