Great job, Brenda! Knowing both you and your Mom, I wish I could’ve been there!! I’m sure you made her proud—as you always did.

I think my Mom would have loved the story! CJ was in the audience and he enjoyed it. I was nervous initially and had my notes. Fortunately, once I got up there, I didn’t need the notes. But, I am going to stick to writing!

What great advice! I think you have always been a storyteller - you are just polishing up. Polishing up you are. :)

Thank you, my friend. I am going to say “yes” a little less to focus on completing my first draft this summer.
