Because of You. No, Really.

This past May, I was humbled and blessed by an amazing opportunity to read before more than 350 people as part of the Listen To Your Mother Show in Madison, Wisconsin, created and directed by Ann Imig.

I had never read before an audience before. EV-ER.

But I wasn't nervous, or scared, or quivering.

I was calm, excited, thrilled, eager.

Because of all of you: your acceptance and support for me, for this blog, have transformed me into a woman who has grown wings, and learned how to fly.

You all did this for me, and I take nothing for granted: not your loyalty, your kindness, your visits.

I know I'm lucky, not one night goes by that I don't end my day by closing my eyes and whispering a prayer of thanks for the way I've been welcomed and loved in this community.

I can't think of you, and not thank you, without my eyes brimming with tears.

Thank you, for your love, and encouragement: the people that come here are the best on the planet.

Thank you!

*After viewing my piece here, "The Reach of a Small Moment," try to squeeze in a few more minutes and see the other incredible pieces read that day by equally incredible women.

How I love you all.
