Stacey

This post is dedicated to my friend Stacey Sherwood. She is an amazing friend.

I was having a particularly bad day one day last week, and when I got home there was a slip in my mailbox that said I had a package waiting for me at the post office. Just the idea of a package immediately put me in a better mood. The next day when I picked it up, it was a random box with no note attached, and inside was a pack of three new moleskine notebooks. Shriveled up at the bottom of the box was a note from the company saying that the original box had been destroyed in shipping and that this was the second shipment, and that the original message was enclosed. Tucked into one of the notebooks was a note from my friend Stacey saying that she was thinking of me and wanted to encourage me to write more. It was exactly what I needed to get me out of my funk and to re-establish my need to write and work on my book project. It is amazing- sometimes friends, no matter how far away they are (Stacey lives about 8,000 miles away from me) just know. They fill in the gaps in your life when you really need someone to care. I am so grateful for my friends and for the support that they have shown me.

Thank you, Stacey. You are amazing.
