You have always had time for my questions; never laughed meanly at my frantic OMG what did I do moments; always responded to my inquiries with such generosity and wisdom. You do it again here. I know - every time I've met an online friend inRL I feel so greedy because all I want is more time. But I'm learning to appreciate even the small moments and the very fact that we get to say hello in real life. It just makes the rest of the relationship that much better. So hugs again, and thank you for all you do. Love you back.

You and all your fabulous red and grey style! But then you turned and laid your hand on my arm and with eyes lit up so warmly, smiled and said, "heeeey! I know you!" It was so good to connect in person and establish our friendship in real life - love being inRL sisters! Thank you for your encouragement here.

The good things your eyes have a hard time finding. I know it so well. But friend, you are such a gift to know. Online with your brave sharing of words and in real life with your tender heart. I am so glad to have met you in real life. I really wish I'd had many more hours with you and Karrilee. I'd see you guys already seated across the room after the speaker started. But even though we didn't get to hang as much as I'd have liked, I'm so glad you felt seen and known and wanted at this conference. And I'm so glad you didn't stop at 5 minutes. These things need saying. Love you, brave friend.
