I live between two worlds, the world of work and efficiency and remembered tasks and schedules and items checked off and the world of dreams and of stories telling themselves and chaos and confusion. The hardest part is finding enough time to go to the latter. Mya is telling me her story but I have to stop her, midsentence sometimes, to travel to the land of adolescent girls with all of their challenges and learnings and joys and grief and drama. Maybe the travels between the two are really what juice each.

Yes. It is so interesting that Mya is the same age as many of the girls you work with. It seems like she is giving you gifts that you in turn share with the girls and the girls reciprocate in kind, while the woman you are serves as midwife to it all. I love what you are doing Michelle! Keep on traveling between worlds and bringing back the stories that give substance to our lives.
I accidently deleted an earlier comment and so you have this one in its stead.
