You guys. You guys! You rock!

Thank you, my sweet friends, old and new (and those old friends whom I just happened to have met recently).

After this epic, unexpected surge of awesomeness from last week, I have received the most incredible emails. Stories. Hearts, open, poured out onto the page (or screen, as it were).

And so, together, we are going to do this.

Together, ever after.

I would quote “Wicked” now

(you know the line)

but, instead, I’ll just give you some pretty graphics to start your Monday.

Because, as my best friend said at our festive New Year’s Eve table last year, “Monday is the worst week of the day.”

But it doesn’t have to be.

Because, dears, we are together, ever after.
