I'm sorry. I've also lost touch with Nidia and Reba. I'm sorry I'm not more helpful! I hope you do connect with them, but... Thanks for writing! Good to hear from you!

I lived at Rose Vista as well from March-May 2000. It's been years but I can't help but think of that place from time to time & the friends I made there. Have you kept in contact with anyone else there? I'm trying to find Nidia & Reba. I have to go now, take care & god bless! Hi Joy,
I lived down the hall from you for 2 months. I lived at Rose Vista as well from March-May 2000. It’s been years but I can’t help but think of that place from time to time & the friends I made there. Have you kept in contact with anyone else there? I’m trying to find Nidia & Reba.

]]> Comment on A Walk in the Woods and my wilderness experiences… by Maggie http://thepregnantpause.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/a-walk-in-the-woods-and-my-wilderness-experiences/#comment-104 Maggie Thu, 01 May 2008 03:36:05 +0000 http://thepregnantpause.wordpress.com/?p=47#comment-104 Thanks for the review, and for sharing your hiking experiences. I find that anything nature related, whether it be hiking a trail or wandering along a beach is such an intensely individual experience. It seems that no two people have the same insights and experiences even though they may have walked the same path. A good example of this is the difference between Bryson's book and Eric Kampmann's <a href="http://www.trailthoughts.com" rel="nofollow">Trail Thoughts: A Daily Companion for the Journey of Faith</a>. For one, hiking the trail inspired an entertaining and humorous work, and the other a daily devotional and a deeper look into our place in the world. I've never been much of one for reading too much faith-based writing, but I'm really enjoying making my way through this one. Thanks for the review, and for sharing your hiking experiences.

]]> Comment on Adoption vs. single mothering – either choice is difficult… by lisamm http://thepregnantpause.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/adoption-vs-single-mothering-either-choice-is-difficult/#comment-90 lisamm Wed, 09 Apr 2008 05:13:53 +0000 http://thepregnantpause.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/adoption-vs-single-mothering-either-choice-is-difficult/#comment-90 This is perhaps one of the most heartfelt, unselfish essays I have ever read on the subject of adoption. I commend your bravery, faith and generous heart, your maturity. You made what appears to be a very wise and responsible decision in choosing a family to raise your son if you were not in a position to raise him yourself. Doing the right thing for your child isn't always easy, and you should be very proud of your decision not only to choose adoption but to remain in his life. He is a lucky boy to have so much love surrounding him. This is perhaps one of the most heartfelt, unselfish essays I have ever read on the subject of adoption.
