Thank you for your welcomes and comments. It's strange, but since I posted I haven't heard anyone calling my name! Perhaps all that was needed was some acknowledgement. I have been working on some intention manifestation recently, and maybe they were simply messages telling me that I have been heard. And as I am currently sitting in my new dream apartment overlooking the sea, through the most bizarre sequence of events, I am under no doubt that I have been heard!
Thank you again!
