They have been very helpful and now I have just to work through them and decide which approach works for me... I will definitely continue. I was a sister in Italy for six and a half years and here in the USA for three and a half more. Nun to mom in seven years flat... you'll have to wait awhile for that part of the story! Let's just say it wasn't really for me and never was, but I guess I am a pretty patient and dedicated person, definitely passionate and crazy for sure! As for nuns being demure, you've never met a nun, have you? They have to be some of the most "real" people in the world to live that life! Yes, nuns are allowed to drink but never to excess, and they do have celebrations, but not anything like everyday ordinary people do.

That is hardcore. How long were you there and how much Italian did you learn? What I really want to know is how you went from a nun to a mom in 7 years! I'd like to know that part of the story. My best friend's mom left the convent to elope. She is so wonderfully crazy and passionate. I have a stereotype of nuns as very demure, and she is very in your face. Are nuns allowed to drink? And have parties? Wow, a nunnery (convent?) in Italy. That is hardcore. How long were you there and how much Italian did you learn?

The story you have to tell is a life experience unique and captivating. You have demanded my attention in such a brief little glimpse. I came to the end of your start and felt robbed of more. Please do finish. Perhaps you could start a blog for just this alone, and then write a bit each day. We could read the story as you write it. I do think, if you have it in you, you should follow through with this beginning. Much Respect~d First of all you write with such grace of description I only wish I had half the talent.
