I can totally relate. I like to think of it like "joint custody" instead of adoption! :-)

Charity, my wife and I also work together and we were just saying last night how great / hard it is. And yes, it is very scary! Thanks for your kind words.

Bill, oh how lucky your congregation must be to have you as their pastor! May you continue to find the courage to not only reveal your knicks but all the places where you've been marred.

Deeply sorry to hear about your son. I can understand that kind of pain.

So well said! Additionally, there's a great Christopher Walken quote to ponder...

"Somebody has said that what an actor has to do is be clear, and in order to be clear as an actor, you have to be clear to yourself. I don't think it's possible to be a good actor without some very distinct center. I think a good actor has got to be, in a way, almost like a priest. That there is a purity of spirit involved which makes it possible for ideas to be conveyed through that person to the audience, that the actor becomes a kind of conductor or a medium, or a way of transferring something abstract and indefinable to an audience." - Christopher Walken

It is this "center" we all must find.

Thanks for sharing Victoria. In a great Esquire article about PSH the writer had hoped that PSH "had lived by Flaubert's charge to live an orderly life so that he could be violent and original in his work." Something we all should strive for and something you're doing quite beautifully!
