Thank you so much for reading it, and for your incredibly kind comment. Your beautiful work (and encouragement) inspired me to finally start getting back on the saddle and writing. Hoping to do more. Thanks for inviting me in and making room at the table.

Hi Celia,

Thank you so much for reading, and for your kind comments. Yes, sometimes dreams really DO come true. 🙂 And given the number of times I feel like we hear about them NOT coming true, I really wanted to think about a moment when there was a positive outcome. To inspire and remind myself to keep going, and also to hopefully inspire others to keep going as well.

Thanks so much for reading it and sharing it with me, Heather! As I mentioned to Celia, it can be so easy to see all the bad in the world (I mean, our media THRIVES on ‘if it bleeds, it leads’ and sensationalized headlines that seem to cater to the worst in humanity. I really want to try to start shedding light on moments where things are good, when things go right. Even if it’s just a tiny moment, and even if it’s only in my life, I feel like by sharing it, it helps brighten other people’s lives as well, as it reminds them that the good stuff is out there and it does happen! 🙂
