I want to express my appreciation for the support that everyone gave me this last week. After my post, I immediately logged off of social media, first for being nervous about the entire endeavor, and second to avoid feeling like I needed external validation. When I got back on, I was overwhelmed with the support and kindness that so many of you shared with me. I know I don’t need external validation, but knowing how much I am supported and accepted is amazing to me. I have to confess I started to cry (multiple times) reading all the comments. Thinking about my wonderful family and friends while skiing today, I realized that I have always been able to find and make amazing friends even if I might take a little to warm up to.

I’m not the best with keeping up with distant friendships and I get it, we are all busy. When I feel like I want to reach out to someone I always doubt myself and tell myself I don’t want to bother them, but I shouldn’t worry about it. I would love to sit and catch up with each of you, and I hope that can become a reality.

Thanks again everyone.
