Because oddly enough, I see thanking specific people different from showing gratitude to the Universe. The following list is in no particular order

*My favorite cousins Linda and David McCart.

I want to thank you for being there for me and supporting me. Letting me ask the dumb questions and actually answering them. Being the gentle nudge in the right direction. A special thank you goes to Linda for always being there when I need to vent and providing a sane, rational sounding board.

*Dr. Bert Covert and Dr. Terry McCabe.

I want to thank you two gentlemen for allowing me to take the class that kicked my butt and opened my eyes. 7000 series classes are not for the faint of heart, but if you’re on pain killers or muscle relaxers from a back injury it sure makes the endless amounts of reading go easier.

*Judith McCabe

Thanks for being my “Angel of the Future”. You asked the important questions and I had to find my answers.

*Brendan OGrady

Thanks for challenging everything that has ever come out of my mouth, especially my last Saturday night in the USA.   You remind me that I have a lot to learn….we all do.

*Patrick, www.stoutstreet.com

Thanks for taking Keiko and Sam for me while I’m gone. I’ll have a tough time leaving them but know you’ll take good care of my babies. Also a HUGE thank you for this weblog. A 22-year friendship can make a person volunteer for some pretty unsavory stuff just for a sweater! You have been my rock for the past 22 years.

*Tracy Killeen, Jennifer Ivan and Mark Richert, www.markrichert.com

Every girl should have her own, personal Marketing Department and nerdy friends to snort-laugh loudly in public with. Some day I’ll be able to repay you three for all of the ideas and support for this website, airplane jumping, benefit dinners and collection receptacles (still creeepy). The website is not great, but it will be very very soon. I hope to be jumping out of a plane some day this summer.

*Donna Whaley

Thanks for your amazing generosity. You hold the honor of being the first to donate to the cause through the website. I will remember you as I travel the world.

*THE WINGS GIRLS

Thanks for always being honest and supportive no matter what lunatic idea I come up with.

*Isabel Losada, www.isabellosada.com

Author of “A Beginners guide to changing the world; for Tibet, with Love” . You inspired me to get off my butt and just do this.

*Bert Stover and his best buddy(sorry I can’t remember your name!)

For coming along and buying my camping tent without haggling on the price. You two were completely charming and funny and I hope you two had a great trip.

*Shoshanna French

For giving me the tools and the guts to see my way.

*Stacey Arnett

For letting me know that I needed to start listening to the BIG me and ignoring the little me.

*Pat Mercado

My second big donator AND surprise book buyer! Thanks for your friendship these past 10 years.

*Doug

Thanks for being there for me all of these years. I’m so glad you’ve stuck around.

*Christopher Dirgo www.envie-media.com

Thank you so much for working on my website! It’s taking on a whole new feel and I LOVE IT. You have earned the title “WebSaint”.

*Lonnie

Thank you for helping me learn some very valuable lessons about myself. They have been integral in my moving forward on my life path.
