I also have an entire package of AA batteries - they were 2 for the price of one at the drug store. It is even a package of 20 or something like that. Consider it my first donation to your journey!!!

You give me hope that my life as both middle-aged woman and mom can continue to grow and change and inspire. There aren't enough places for women to land in this world. They don't give us enough slots in which to fit ourselves, so I guess we just have to make our own place. You go. You go for all of us! Thanks for some Sunday inspiration.

Your meeting the neighbor almost seems like a huddle before the game where everyone ends with a cheer and then breaks and runs onto the court or field- totally pumped and ready to play the game. You put this feeling perfectly when you wrote about the "I Need" vines, even though I'm not sitting here with an empty nest (and might never be) I am realizing the change in my needs more. Your journey has already made my mind move over other possibilities and proclaim "I'm not dead yet!" I got to a point where I felt I was doing paperwork for the first part of my life and now, with the last waiver signed, I can dive in head first. Your writing of your journey is the reassurance, the water wings, I need to leave the platform. Your writing is just what I needed. Thank you for that. Beautifully written, as always.
