I apologize that it took me so long to see this. I've been busy with fundraisers and such for a future trip I'm taking later in the year.

However, this is just fantastic! What kindness and loveliness! It's really so very kind of you, and I'm still shocked (but incredibly honored) to be featured here. The words you said about me, too. Just wow! I am speechless. I really, really appreciate the thought and time you put into this... and I'm so touched and grateful. I look forward to the chatroom, and I thank any and all who are planning to show up: It just means the world to me! I'm quite open to any and all critique, because I know I still have a very long ways to go!

Thank you, also, dear, for keeping such wonderful things going in the community! I think it's a great way to unify people in positivity and recognition. I also really love seeing other writers, and I look forward to checking the ones I don't know out! Thanks for just always giving your positive and helpful rays of sunshine

A big, heartfelt thank you to Hfeather53 as well. You are always just so lovely and wonderful . I really am grateful!
