I really wish I'd been there to see Ruta get her award. She definitely deserved it!!! Our very own Ruta. *tears up*

Ruta was amazing. I've never heard a talk more heart wrenching than hers. And her book is powerful.

Ruta's talk made me cry. And whenever I tell anyone about it, I cry all over again.

She is an amazing person...as are you, Verla. Her nod to your fabulous forum did not surprise me in the least (although I am so happy you got this recognition!). You have created a warm, wonderful place for us all to meet, inspire and share!

Love you, Verla!!! Jodi 

[Verla Kay]

Aw, shucks, Jodi.
