It's really been a great journey and you've always been there with a kind word and your support. I appreciate that a lot.

It's good to hear the back story on what you're doing because there were so many days when I read your tweets and asked: what the hell? How is she doing this? Why is she doing this? Now I know! Keep it up. Wish I was smart as you were at 29 to do some of the things you're doing. You just don't have many chances to, believe it or not. BTW, thanks for including my blog on your roll. Makes my skin crawl a bit that I'm just below Lucy's but I'll live with it. Incredible story, Sloane.
