from my heart of all hearts:

i can not even BEGIN to thank you. can't fashion up the words that could come close to how appreciative i am of you all. because you have given me a reason to write. a reason to want to swing my hips more. a reason to love the pouch in my stomach that made me a mother.

you made my dream come true. as cliche & trite as that sounds. i was searching for a group of women to relate to. to open up to. to connect & compare life/love/battle scars/belly laughters with. and all of you accepted my invitation. all of you welcomed me into your lives beyond a screen name. beyond poetry. you offered me yourself at your weakest. at your most naked. at your most beautiful & truthful. you offered me YOU. as well as took in who i am.

what more can you ask for?

i feel closer to ya'll then i do my friends outside of computer screens...because with you i'm not pretending to be okay all the time. i'm not pretending my life is right on track.

i love our community.

& i have you women to thank.
