What a generous post! I have to agree with Sezin, it was lovely to hear your Irish brogue. ;-) There is something about connecting through voice, compared with the written word -- so much more warmth and energy. All of you women energized me to move forward. Now, if only I can just kick this persistent cough I have from that flu. ;-)Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603856361011482192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125798023115105891.post-49773547727918740232010-03-03T12:50:57.566+02:002010-03-03T12:50:57.566+02:00Thank you all so much for your kind comments.

I too had a night to sleep, though didn't for several hours after our talk because my mind was so full of everything said. To find such connections was just what I need now, as I wind down the US portion of my hybrid life and prepare for the possibilities to come. Thanks and love to you all for the tremendous wave of energy you've all given me!Bazaar Bayarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712818121398423065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125798023115105891.post-34941874552158655402010-03-02T23:48:29.060+02:002010-03-02T23:48:29.060+02:00Catherine, I enjoyed connecting with you and the o...Catherine, I enjoyed connecting with you and the other women... it would be great to meet in person one day!Karen Armstrong Quartaronehttp://www.thriving30s.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125798023115105891.post-34136527764245329862010-03-02T19:56:31.883+02:002010-03-02T19:56:31.883+02:00Oh Catherine!

It was beautiful to hear your Irish brogue on the other side of the line, wonderful to hear your thoughts spoken aloud instead of written. Big hugs to you and looking forward to the next time. Soon!

Floating is actually the wrong word, since many of the things said linger as "Aha!" moments.<br /><br />From the moment I read your blog posts I picture you traveling from village to village addressing the needs of your family. The photographs on your blog gave me a sense of the beauty and serenity of your surroundings. But also of the lonesomeness that comes with the territory of a hybrid lifestyle. Something I recognize even although the place where I live is situated on the outskirts of a big city. <br /><br />I'm so pleased that we have connected through Expat+Harem and that thanks to Rose's initiative dialogue2010 and that we've all had a chance to hear the voices which we (in some cases) already recognize and relate to through the written word.Judith van Praaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113677919729425142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125798023115105891.post-7515521507268351022010-03-02T18:25:40.467+02:002010-03-02T18:25:40.467+02:00I'm still floating.

Thank you, Catherine, for adding the strength of your voice to Dialogue2010, and for unravelling what what said in order to understand how it is intertwined with your life. I hope it will be something others living a hybrid life can relate to. Your blog post means a lot to me!Rose Margaret Denizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854703458788448819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125798023115105891.post-55572162477091530052010-03-02T16:44:14.723+02:002010-03-02T16:44:14.723+02:00Yes Catherine!

That was a very valuable part of the experience for me. And lots of a-ha moments. Like what you said about being compassionate with regard to our families.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707473559945628750noreply@blogger.com
