Happy birthday to you too :-) I never really think of myself as a writer... my fun is in finding the words to help others believe that they are. Even if they're only accidental authors;-) Best wishes Joanna Jeanne, hello, and thanks so much for saying hi and happy birthday! Happy birthday to you too :-)

I have come to know you through Karen Swim, and your posts, of course, and I’m quickly becoming a fan. I was just saying that I have a great affinity for those born in April and hah...our birthdays are only a day or two apart. While you're the real writer, I'm an accidental author (of over 40 pharmaceutical and sales articles) and the proud mom of Redbook's (US magazine) online editor, so maybe there's something in the blood, eh? Wishing you many blessings for your next year of the great adventure! Smiles across the miles and the pond! Jeanne Male Happy, happy belated birthday, Joanna!

How is it possible that we haven't met? We are soul sisters for sure. Thanks for your love and friendship today and everyday :-) @Liz, thank you. I know I don't get over to you so much nowadays either... but I like the fact you know I'm still there, and notice the things that you write direct to me ;-) I'm watching where those conversations go to Liz, all the way... @dave, okay, so you win the prize for making me cry. Guess you'll understand why ;-) @Becky, we are going to have so much fun having a mini-SobCon in Scotland! Can't wait to see you @Robert, thank you, for the friendship you've shared with me throughout the last year...You make so many of us smile more broadly... thanks :-) @Terry, you bet:-) Sorry I'm not seeing you again in May... but maybe next year... @Angela, thank you! Knowing so many interesting and creative people makes me want to keep shining as brightly as I can... isn't it wonderful how we feed off and refuel each other? @Anne, thank you for the greetings, and sunshine too! @Paul, thanks :-) I'm very glad that I've got to know you through Rosa, I think we have much to learn from and teach each other @Karen, thanks petal.

Thank you everyone :-) @Amy, me too, you know that. I've had a sparkly day, so why not make it a whole year's worth? ;-) @Ulla, I don't recognise the word late in relation to blog conversations, especially not words like this. Thank you so much. What you've shared here means a great deal to me. @Jamie, what a great compliment! I am very proud of my blog... and grateful every day for the community of funny, creative, interesting, big-hearted people it's allowed me to meet. Your good self included :-) @Brad, thanks - isn't it it wonderful to be able to communicate most every day? Made all the easier having had the time first to sit and have a beer with you in a pub in Geneva. That was one of the stellar highlights of the last year. We'll do it again before too long.
