Yesterday a new friend through Facebook wrote to me and told me how much the book that Gayle and I wrote together, “It’s All About Attitude,” meant to her and her family.  She said that our book came to them at a time when they were feeling lost…their world turned upside down by the diagnosis of autism.   And that by reading our story…I imagine that it was like a hand being extended to them in a dark and scary place.

I understand completely.

There have been many times that I too have felt lost, scared, not knowing which way to turn… and someone’s words, heart coming through on the page. have been like a life raft being thrown out to me in dark and murky waters….giving me hope, direction, and the confidence to hear and follow my own truth once again.  Dark and murky…now clear blue.

I also am grateful for those who love my art… my creativity whether its through writing, painting, basket weaving, cooking, decorating or photography…they are all expressions of my love of life…the beauty that I see and feel around me.  So when someone tells me they like it….my heart smiles…big time!

and I just wanted you to know that……….

thank you!
