Finally, I figured out it is such an unique process to the individual, that is a journey you must discover for yourself.Cher Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817089871390887197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508369164614552428.post-82559379442617550852013-03-12T09:58:16.913-04:002013-03-12T09:58:16.913-04:00Learning process indeed.

I have a general feel of how I think it should go.
