A nice warm breeze is blowing, rocking the trees to its vibrant beat, and tickling the wind chimes into their beautiful melodic dance. The wind gently caresses my skin, freshens the air I breathe, and helps to spread pollen and seeds for life to continue flourishing.

It reminds me of the many ways that your wonderfully-kind and supportive comments move me, touch my heart, lift my spirits, and make me feel so connected and close to you, helping me to flourish.

Thank you all! Please know that I’m responding to all communications from you and other friends and bloggers just about as fast as I possibly can. So, if you haven’t gotten a response from me yet, it isn’t from a lack of caring and appreciation but from the combination of an ever-increasing volume of communications and no commensurate increase in the number of hours in my day.

This is by no means a hint that I’d like fewer communications—-quite the contrary, I love them—-just an acknowledgment that my turnaround time is slipping despite my best efforts.

Thank you for your patience!
