There it is! I might post her hyperactive brother as well, but we'll see!

I love it, Phylis! It creates such a clear picture of Anisha! I feel like I know her already.

Hey, thanks, Milly!
And she's also nice. Not sure if I got that across.

Yep, I think you got it across nicely. Essence maps are so neat in that they can display so many aspects of someone's personality in one place!

No kidding!
