A Personal Note

When I began this endeavor there were many hopes with little expectations. By the end of the process it became clear that much more was happening. Submissions were beyond generous. I have found myself feeling overwhelmed with emotions so many times while processing the submissions. The biggest surprise were all the notes that were included along with the pieces.The time people took to make a connection was unexpected. (For those who added a note, please know that they will be forwarded to the recipent.)

These acts of kindness has validated my efforts, for this Thank You. Kieu
