Are You Ever So Grateful That You Feel Like You Might Burst?

I’ve been feeling really grateful lately towards all of the folks who have helped me with my writing career thus far.

I can’t thank them all here because there are an awful lot of them (the proof is right here).

But I can thank them categorically, at least.

I need to do something with all of this gratitude I am feeling.

Thanks to…

• My husband and daughter
• My students
• My writer buddies (in real life and online)
• My mentors and teachers
• My editors
• My parents and family
• My readers
• The folks who help with and attend the Northwest Author Series
• The folks who inspire me over at our Writers on the Move FB group
• Writer’s Digest folks
• Jane Friedman
• Amazing women writers past and present
• Fellow author mamas
• Our pets
• And everyone who has touched my life in any kind of inspiring way over the past twenty years while I’ve been building a writing career from the inside-out

I really appreciate you. Thank you for every little act of generosity.

I feel like this is going to be a really awesome school year.

I cannot wait for it to get started…
