Humbled.

I am incredibly humbled and grateful to be a part of this community. I have had an outpouring of support and suggestions, ideas and offerings, since I decided to do this crazy thing and put it all out to my social network. To those who took the time to read my post, thank you. For those who took the time to post their thoughts, bless you. For those who took the time to send thoughts and encouragement via IM, text messages, twitter, blogs, phone calls and even telepathy, you have absolutely no idea what it means to have others encourage your half-baked plans (or actions in the absence of plans...?)

Thank you.

This discussion, through so many avenues of dialogue, have really released an amazing amount of energy and insight as to where my focus should be. I did not have this at 7:30 this morning when I started this post. I'm ripping things apart, and it's a mess. But as my friend Allan says, "it's one hot mess" and that's really good. You are an amazing community, and you are my community (even without beer). There is an amazing feeling that comes from meeting you guys and keeping you with me via social networking. I am thrilled that my risk of engaging in social media to ask for help did not fail me. I believe engagement -- and community -- is incredibly powerful. You guys RAWK. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am humbled.
