I just want to tell you how much I admire what you're doing with yourself now. So many people seem to become lost when the people they've been no longer seem appealing to them anymore, but they don't know what to do next. But you've leapt into what really interests you, before you even knew where it would go. I think you're helping and engaging a lot of people, just by being yourself. Also, I think you're a very good writer.

Miguel, thank you. That means a great deal to me, especially because you put your finger on exactly what I was trying to say. I did not know where any of this would lead when I started. I only knew I wanted to follow what interested me and see what happened. The purpose came later. And somehow, here we all are. Thank you for seeing that, and for the very kind words about my writing.

I've spent a good bit of my adult life teaching at various levels, from preschool to graduate school and beyond. And one of the most rewarding things about teaching is watching someone find who they really are and deciding to live it. Whatever age people are when they follow that path, that awakening is marvelous to behold. Keep going.
