[noticed at In The Tent: The Tie That Binds]

When I've been asked to share my story in the past, my first thought was always, "which part?" In my mind, there have been three distinct chapters and each have been very different.

...

I don't undermine any one of those experiences, but each one has been very separate in my mind. Compartmentalized. Something unto itself. But recently I have had a nagging feeling deep within me, that there is more. There is a connection. There is a thread that is common, and weaves it all together into one story. Not random chapters, but a book.
