I couldn’t believe what I was reading here, Sonya!! <br /><br />I LOVE the fact that you finally came out of hiding.<br /> <br />I LOVE that you were forced into public speaking and discovered your ability to do so without perishing into a puff of smoke.<br /> <br />I LOVE the fact that you finally saw with your own eyes what your pals (me included) have told you for years—yes, people will love your writing.<br /><br />I LOVE the fact that you mingled and had a great time instead of staying in your dark little room or clean the toilets.<br /><br />I LOVE the fact that you sold every book you had and were still asked to sign tote bags and programs.<br /><br />I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that wonderful photo of you—it’s really a great photo!!<br /><br />Best of all, I LOVE seeing you happy! <br /><br />Thanks SO much for sharing your conference experience with us. Hugs, gal pal!Marta Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126647102399666578noreply@blogger.com
