I love to write. I believe writing comes naturally to me. I don&#8217;t find\u00a0it stressful at all.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>For me, answering questions here on my blog gives a sense of accomplishment that is priceless. If my words help just one person, I feel I would have done what I was meant to do. \u00a0I admit, some days are a bit harder than others, but during difficult\u00a0times I wait until\u00a0my troubled feelings pass and look forward to getting back to writing. \u00a0I love what I do.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>If all else fails, I will call Dr. Baer\u00a0and talk; we are still a team.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Thank you for asking.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Karen<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Leslie on 20 Jun 2009 at 1:10 pm Karen, It\u2019s wonderful to see you faithfully continue to answer questions to support Switching Time and the many troubled souls who share their grief stricken pasts.
