Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality. - ALFRED PAINTER

Making a life change is scary and full of risk. There are questions without straightforward answers, and the need to work through challenges big and small which are often well outside your comfort zone. In many ways, it can feel as though you’re a boat out at sea. A teeny, tiny boat.

This is a note to say thank you to friends and family who have kept this teeny tiny boat afloat with their generous support, assistance and encouragement, shared intelligence, and investment of time and skill. Know my gratitude runs deep.

To my husband, who is always patient, supportive, a magician in so many ways…forever olive juice. And kids, thank you for your enthusiasm! It took many years of collecting books and reading together to find this special place where it all comes together.
