wow.

I can't believe the response my "War and Peace" post has been getting! And to think… I wasn't even sure people would read the whole thing because of it's length! I find it very telling that this subject is an important one to a lot of people and it definitely makes me feel less alone. I appreciate all your reponses: advice, criticism, and encouragement. I especially appreciate that we are able to have a dialogue about this sort of thing in a place people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts.

My original post was featured on craftzine's blog and my friend Liana Kabel wrote a lovely lengthy response to it as well.

Thank you all.
