It's so sweet of those of you who've taken the time to send me a letter, card, or leave me a Facebook message or Guest Book note. I'm glad you're enjoying the story! It really makes my day - especially being an unknown artist out in the big, big world of book publishing. Have a great Thanksgiving next week!

Today marks the day I've been waiting a long time for, but it's also a very sobering one right now. After looking at more pictures of Hurricane Sandy a few hours ago and reading news stories about the people who have died, so many other things in life can seem insignificant. My heart hurts for those suffering loss... even if I never knew them. Our world is changing so drastically and so quickly - I just ask the Lord to give us the peace to endure. My prayers are with everyone reeling from the wake of the hurricane. Cherish every breath because no one knows what tomorrow holds.
