I recently got this email from a reader. It's the best feedback I could ever hope to receive. It's about a coming of age story I did a while ago:

"I just want you to know that your story helped me so much in so many ways and I haven’t forgotten about it since I read it as a young kid and I recently found it again being 18. The story genuinely helped me discover who I am so much better."

In God I dwell, especially in Eugene OR
Sat Nam! (Literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)

May you have many more of those sorts of reviews. They're the best! The afterglow from them brightens the heart.

Blessings,

Not where you last saw me.
How lovely for that reader to have thought to let you know what your story meant to them. Treasure that note and well done, you, John!

Oh, to get something like that is my fantasy. Frame it on the wall!
