The formatting was a fortunate stroke of serendipity that came as an afterthought. I spent a fair amount of time yesterday writing a few different drafts. Once I got something that I thought was close, I began wordsmithing it to death, but something still didn't "feel right." By yesterday evening I was frustrated and thought, let me try formatting it differently to come at it from a fresh perspective. Lo and behold, it virtually fell into place on its own.Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.com
