Reflections of Homer

   I have been back in Madison for over a month now and there have been many times some loving soul has asked me about Alaska. I know they are expecting some great tale of adventure, growth, and how I fell in love with midwifery/ became more passionate about midwifery. The reality though is just the opposite. I came back to Madison and hid out in a Shasta camper for three weeks- sometimes calling out to God and begging Him to speak truth, sometimes wailing in pain and frustration, sometimes sitting in silence hoping to hear the audible voice of God.
 
   I think most people assume that because I can be really intimidating and brutally honest about some things that I am not very sensitive emotionally. The truth is- I get hurt extremely easily- perhaps that is why lately I just want everyone happy with me.
