GF, I read this thread and was reminded of one of my favorite quotes:
Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.
Goethe
I've said it once, and I'll say it again..."You are an effing SUPERSTAR!!!" You have the most brilliantly contagious enthusiasm, a magnetic charisma...that is evident, even in the cyberworld...but, the fact that it is wrapped up in genuine humility and empathy, puts you on my very short list of AMAZING people.
I completely believe, that you are going to fulfill all your dreams...SERIOUSLY!!! **Big Hug**
