This Year

Tomorrow is my birthday, but I'm writing this now because I have something already planned for tomorrow.

Something that I need to write about here for a second, if you'll humor me.

Tomorrow, one of my closest friends is writing here for you.  Except there's a catch.  I've never met her.  Weird, right?  Not as weird as you think.

She's awesome, and I promise you all will fall in love with her tomorrow if you haven't already.  Her name is Lillian, and she writes over at It's a Dome Life.

She is one of this group of amazing people who have come into my life this past year.


They all do what they do for a reason.  We all do what we do for a reason.

They've made me laugh.  They've made me cry.  They've become my friends.

These are the gifts I have been given this year.


This past year has taught me a lot about myself.  I'm branching out. I'm taking risks.  I'm trying new things.  I'm laying it out there, in the public eye.

I'm doing it because of all of them, and I'm doing it because of you.

My fans, my readers.

Thank you.
