I want to thank all of the people who believed in my dream. One cannot attain his or her dreams alone. It takes the people who inspire, the people who believe along with you, and the people who remind you not to give up. I get inspiration from so many places, so many people and each tidbit of inspiration is a special gift tucked away in safe places inside of me.
I wish to specifically thank the following:
*Mattie Shields, who raised me, loved me, and taught me the value of a good story
*The professors who treated me as if I had a voice and taught me that what I had to say was of value
*My students, all 998 of them, who taught me the value of continuing to look at the world through the eyes of a child
*My Tribe, who stands strong right next to me every step of the way!
*Those close family members who quietly whisper, "Go, baby, go!"
*Shirley Schaefer, who kept everything I ever wrote and couldn't wait to see my writings "out there" in the world
*My beautiful girls, who fill my world with the most brilliant spectrum of colors that my "eyes" are constantly amazed
*And finally, my Salty Bones Man, who refuses to give up on me, loves me unconditionally, and reminds me that in the end, all any of us needs is just one person who believes in us...that one person can give us the courage and strength to do amazing things!
"For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction." -Cynthia Occelli
