Rachel,

I absolutely L❤VE the picture you drew from my quote.

Each time I see your drawing -- your lines and colors dancing around my words -- I am filled with joy. Thanks so much for the honor. I am touched. It marks the first time my words inspired someone to draw from them.

Grazie mille ❤ You truly made my days beyond wonderful.

xoxo,
Mia

P.S. DANCING IN THE DELIGHT OF INSPIRATION ALL AROUND began with hopes and dreams http://bit.ly/k9aVxS, carrying me to Tuscany. For more photos and treasures from that journey -- my immersion into writing, bliss, and the artful life in Tuscany -- click here http://bit.ly/o9VPXE. Grazie!

Inspiration all around is BOOK!!! For sure it is. Wonderfulness I tell you Rachel. I just love it. You have inspired me and now I have go and write some poetry. This is the best. Thanks so much for you kind words and prayers. I often wonder about little Danny , who isn't little anymore I'm sure, but I wonder nevertheless. Their relationship transcended color, age, and social status of the day. I can think of nothing more precious. I send you much love and peace today with a heaping hill of joy!
Best to you my friend.
