Today I completed my response to Question #1 of the 19 questions my daughter has designed for me to answer for the book about my story that she and I are writing.  I will take the rest of today off and she will send me #2 tomorrow.  I will then spend the following four days – 96 hours – letting myself inwardly prepare to respond to that question.

So far I am much impressed with how things went writing #1’s response, though there were agonizing moments during the process in which I thought, “I will not survive the writing of this book.  It will kill me.”

Perhaps that will prove to be true, but I do not care.  I will do whatever it takes over the next 3 – 5 months to complete my part of this mother-daughter writing project.

One surprising reward so far is that in contemplating in writing my #1 response (after spending my first 4 days dutifully NOT writing it) my brain recombined information in the answer that truly amazed me.  I asked myself how it was possible that I had never before SEEN what appeared to me so clearly as I wrote my response.

I have a friend who tells me that no doubt every single thing that has happened to me prior to this time along with all the hard work I have done in researching from the inside out, has fully prepared me for what I am doing now.  After my experience with #1 – I believe it.
