Yup, this is so me. I can complicate things beyond recognition. Keep it simple, huh?
And yes, my sponsor went over this with me before she left. I understand the columns now, which I was confused about. It's just that as I start, I find lots of questions popping up (complicating things again!). She instructed me before she left to make a start and then show it to her when she gets back. She did say that few people get it on their first try, so there will be good guidance there.
I need to ask my inner "perfectionist" to step aside, I think, and ask for clarity and strength from my HP. I'm afraid of not getting it "right." That doesn't help. It will come out as it comes out. As long as my heart is in the right place and I am honest, it'll come out the way it is supposed to.
Thanks for your insight, RF.
