Okay, so I am sitting in a Chinese restaurant in El Dorado, AR, whining to my dear sister that I am having a bad day, I am tired, I can't check my email to see if I have a rejection letter yet, blah blah blah, and she, the sweetest person ever, says, hey I can do that really quick, and so we're talking and she is checking and then all of a sudden she is squealing in my ear, and I finally realize that she is saying I got an ACCEPTANCE!!!! Are you kidding? Is that a joke? What?!?!?! I'm going to be published!!! Holy Cow!!! I freaked out in the middle of this Chinese buffet! I forgot to breathe. I nearly passed out. So anyway, on this most glorious day, a few minutes later, what does my fortune cookie say?
"In a gentle way, you can shake the world"

Thank you so very much to God, for giving me a talent that I didn't have the guts to believe in.
Thank you all so much, to Nanna, for 20 years of telling me 'Yes, you can', to Tiff, for 10 years of telling me, 'Duh, you will', to Cyn, for 1 year of telling me 'This is how you're going to', and to Rick, Chris, Beth, Tim and Catherine for reading my stuff, good and bad, and giving it to me straight. I know that this is a small victory, but it gives me hope, so much hope, for the future. I have faith in myself and I feel GREAT!!!
