Awesome write, Kristen except that Phoenix is spelled wrong in your title and I'd hate to see you passed over because of that if you put this in Mark's contest. Probably just a typo ... sometimes my dyslexia messes with me too ... smile

You are amazing Kristin. These six words can so aptly describe to you, your own self. Very effective. Its like silence is more invoking thank speeches:) Always, Chitra

Read 'A Moveable Feast' if you haven't already done so... it's Hemingway's love affair with Paris. I still can't find any one of 'em!!! Your page references don't seem to work... Neatly arranged and expressed. Well done K! Love, me. PS try 'The Land Of Lip Service...' should give you a giggle...)
