A while back I started telling the story of what it was like to be a Psi/PK research participant. I had planned to continue the account in short order, but when I started reading the old emails from that time to refresh my memory, I got pretty emotional. A lot of good things happened that year. I made new contacts (and friends) and I was taking the first baby steps towards accepting myself, anomalous experiences and all. There were definitely some challenges.
Anyway, you can read about it here.
