Bev:
It seems you have received a lot of support and advice from many board members. I know it is not the same as having someone to get together with and share your passion. Just know that each and every one of us would love to get together in person with you if we could. We will try to do the next best thing and support you from afar. And you never know when one of us will show up on your doorstep and want to see some of your work in person! You are always welcome on my doorstep!
