@ Lorie:  I love that you included you mom's memory here.  She was such a wonderful and inspirational woman.  Keep running, Lorie!  :-)

@ Stacey:  Girlfriend, your jewelry is stunning.  I'm not sure that I've seen your website before!  I know where I'm doing my holiday shopping this year.  

@ Everyone:  Thank you for all of the lovely comments and well wishes.  You helped make my birthday memorable and special!
