I explain my absence after reaching a breaking point. Also discussed: how my spiritual beliefs relieve anxiety, family stories, my husband/my marriage, the power of storms, new beginnings, what it's like to be in a psych hold, and I sing the most important song I've written yet (lyrics below).

Song Lyrics:
Mother Nature, by me :)
the archer watched me for years
manifesting all of my fears
but pain is a drain
and now my life switches gears
the ego is funny
had me working for money
now I wait at the gate as freedom nears
you held me
you loved me
you reached down
from above me
you guided and provided
in times when I was hiding
you waited, you were patient
and when I sought out your graces
you lifted the partition
and you listened to my wishes
you walked me through the valley
now we dance at the finale
cause I made it to the gate and
I embrace all of the changes
it was a slippery slope
while I was trying to cope
life gave me a mountain
and I brought the rope
I took on a mission
but something was missing
was climbing in fear instead of hope
but you held me
and you loved me
and you reached down
from above me
you guided and provided
in times when I was hiding
you waited, you were patient
and when I sought out your graces
you lifted the partition
and you listened to my wishes
and you walked me through the valley
now we dance at the finale
cause I made it to the gate and
I embrace all of the changes
we never suffer in vain
there's always wisdom to gain
and though pain is a drain
we can dance in the rain
no you are not insane
this is simply your lane
and you can handle the blows that destiny throws
cause hardship is given
to those who have vision
born with the power
to face the darkest hour
and she'll hold you
and she'll love you
and she'll reach down
from above you
she'll guide you, and provide you
with a landing that'll tide you
just wait and be patient
and when you seek out her graces
she's liftin' the partition
as she listens to your wishes
and she'll walk you through the valley
and you'll dance at the finale
cause you'll make it to the gate if
you embrace all of the changes
