Ahhh...this is something I can definitely get creative with. Is the idea not to let anyone know the animal until the end? (Hugs) Indigo

You could choose to do that with your essay... everybody can decide just how they would like to handle this...... a surprise or not.

I'm in, for a few days there I was truly wondering if I would make it this month. I really, really enjoyed this months topic. I can't help it the subject matter is so close to home for me. (Hugs) Indigo

I think the title was originally too long, I shortened it. I believe it should work now. I'm so glad you had a chance to experience a close encounter with a raven. It's mystical in itself. (Hugs) Indigo

Hi Judith,
Jim's link is on a friendship journal I have. I couldn't figure out any other way to submit it for him. He wasn't going to do this, but I encouraged him to go ahead and write it anyway. The result was every bit as worthy as I thought it might be. Thanks hon! (Hugs) Indigo
