Shaken back into reality...

Seismic activity is analyzed on a computer screen at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California July 29, 2008, after a magnitude 5.4 earthquake in Southern California.

And she has a family - I think her knowing that has been a tremendous factor in her metamorphosis. Taina in June '08:
