      I'm living back at the shelter in AZ but all is well. I'm getting out of there in 13 days and going to my sisters until a job training place is going to cover the costs of a home for me. Woot! I'm going back to school in August. I am going for a BA Degree in Women Studies so that I can work for the shelter I'm at. I also want to work for Victim's Witness as a Rape Victims' Advocate. I am doing really well and I'm glad to hear that you are happier than you were before. That is fantastic news!

      From PeterGregory April 18

      Hello ske003- Sorry to learn of another loss. Thought the story of the butterfly was GREAT. Wondered if you'd care to share it with our group? I really like the picture you use of the butterfly and the light. It's lovely! I was looking for something like that as our group logo/sign. Would you mind sharing with me where you found it? (No offense intended if you're the artist!) I'd like to see what else might be available for us to use. Best wishes- Peter
