So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye!!

wow wow wow girls...It's my turn to say goodbye (for now). On Monday I will come back to you all a changed woman, but I leave you also having been changed. This whole process has been such an amazing and eye-opening experience for me, and meeting all of you fabulous women, and exchanging stories, laughs, cries, ideas, and drama has been one of the BIGGEST highlights of this crazy year.

You girls have been through ti all with me...the good, the bad, and the ugly LOL and your support, kindness, and wonderful ideas and input has meant more than you know. I hope I have done, and will try to continue to do, the same for you all.

So, many many thanks to you all. I guess the 11 years I waited was so that WE would all be ready at the same time. I always believe fate has a reason for things...this wonderful group from LIW is MY reason! And to my gurrls...thank God I found you!

I look forward to seeing some of you at the ceremony, and some after and can't wait to come back with pics.

Finally, I wanted to especially thank my Somethingblu. Unfortunately she was able to help me through more than one crisis (but only b/c she had experienced the same) I looked to her for poise and guidance...and always received it. This song reminds me of you...thank you!

Grace, she takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace, it's the name for a girl
It's also a thought that changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things
