Dear Sharla,
i'm glad you got to go on the retreat and be with folks you could connect with.
i like Donna's ideas of seeing if you can meet up with any of them at other times.
i too was hit hard by the reduction in 'space' moving here. small streets, smaller apartments, smaller offices, smaller office cubes, less personal space - being packed like sardines in public transport ugh. everything is smaller even the dang soda cans are smaller!!!! my mom says they make things smaller because there is less storage space!!!

sheesh.
i've heard japan is even smaller!!!

HINT: DO NOT MOVE TO JAPAN!
