Hi Alfie. What a wonderful way to start the day – with a message from you. I am thankful also for the same amazing company you speak of. The writers’ community has given me phenomenal support and wonderful experiences over the many years I have been about this business. But most of all it has given me abiding relationships with very special people. You are lrominent among those people. I loved working with you then. I love being still in touch with you now. I was thinking the other day of our lunch long ago. I believe it was in Kansas Ciry and you introduced me to what sreak was really supposed to taste like. My heart wishes we could do that lunch again, or another one very like it, with conversation and laughter and catching up and just being in each other’s presence. We shall do that in spirit for sure. Have a happy thanksugiving. Love and Blessings. Alice

Dear Cathy. Thank you to you in particular for being in my corner all of these years. I have spent a lot of time encouraging others, but not everyone has understood that I needed encouragement as well. You are one of those generous hearts that has inspired me to keep my own heart open always. I am more grateful for that than I can ever say. Do It Anyway has been a reminder to myself as well as to everybody else. Colleague friends like you keep me true to that phrase and to my commitment to the writers’ community that has enriched my life so profoundly for so long. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving most emphatically because you have finally been gifted with the time and freedom to pursue your writing life as fully as you have always longed and deserved to do. Keep on Writing Whatever May Occur. Alice
