A Winner and a Big Thank You

Ladies,

You bless my life every day with your beautiful faraway friendships

and the warm understanding that we are a tribe

that understands each other; that thrives on beauty and love and growing.

I don't think I could ever drive home how frequently I feel the wonder of this

connection

how much I give thanks for this paper cup phone we've got going on that spans continents

and cultures....

we are neighbors all the same.

I've gotten advice from you here,

visited you on your own digital spaces and smiled and cried with your triumphs and

losses...

I've been sustained by your support and

lifted by your encouragement

.

I will not try and fumble my pale words any more, suffice it to say

that you rock my fucking world.

As for the contest, we do have a winner -

hit it, random number generator!!!

Mairedodd!!!!!

CONVO

me with your info, dear woman

and thank you ALL

for entering this giveaway -

I loved reading all of your wintry words -

they made me even more excited about the coming chill

and the gifts of going inward.

With Love,

Allisunny
