"Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone."

So wrote Gladys Bronwyn Stern.  I dont intend to be quiet about it, and this is the place for my very public expression!

I would not be who I am today if not for the countless many who have shared my journey.  Some were only with me for a moment, a few have gone the distance.  I acknowledge and thank every one of you.   Everyone I meet is my teacher and from you all I have learned. 

Thank you so much!

I give my heartfelt gratitude to the woman I began this part of the journey with. I'd never have started without you by my side, let alone continued!  Thank Yyou for walking a while with me on this planet.   Namaste

~~~~~~~

Those in spirit who have guided and taught me must surely have earned wings for their patience!  Their Love, encouragement, and direction gave me the Faith I needed to grow and flourish.   I am blessed to know it will continue with every breath I take.  "Thank you" seems so inadequate sometimes.

~~~~~~~

I am especially grateful to my son.  He has been unconditionally accepting of my journey and who I am.  I thank him for allowing me to bring him into this world and to be his mom.  I thank him for listening ever-so patiently as I try to impart spiritual wisdom or share an "aha" story.  I thank him for being an example to me of what it means to be true to one's self.  I love you!

And finally, this website is dedicated to a special and amazing someone in my life without whom NONE of this would exist.  Nor would I.   

To my best friend and Partner in The Journey... حَبيبي

Thank you for teaching me what it means to have integrity, dedication, and courage.  Thank you for 343 paperclips, the music of Grieg, and Sun Prairie.  Thank you for your truly unconditional Love, for always believing I can do anything (except sing), and..... for being my parachute.   

With boundless appreciation, I love You.  E.
