my apologies……
Ok. Sorry I have not been posting much here lately. A combination of a couple of personal situations I have had to tend to and - some new interesting factors I came across in the theory - have been holding me up.
The personal factors are now in better control - I hope. My father in law has moved in with me, requiring some but not a great amount of care; my two sons in college have needed more of my assistance arranging a few matters. That plus the fact that my husband is now in Alaska for a year (was called to active duty from the Army reserves) has been draining some of my emotional energy.
All along while I was dealing with that, some ladies in one of my writing groups introduced me to a concept that may conflict a bit with this stage theory. And then thanks to some information I am getting courtesy of a professor in Australia who is doing current research on my topic, I am learning there are a whole lot of other factors to consider here! I am putting a lot of energy into studying the conflicting data. It may be a while before I have something intelligent to share with you - but it will be interesting, that I can promise!
Thanks for your patience - and stay tuned!
