Mags, I will never be self-contained, as you say.....and I'm not sure that I'd want to be. I need other talented people to work with to make me the best that I can be. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses. At this point in my life, I think I realize what is on both of those lists for me. I try to play to my strengths, and at the same time I try to constantly learn and grow and stretch myself beyond my comfort zone. That is tough for me sometimes, but I still try to do it. Writing is really who I am. It's as simple as that. But, I wouldn't be doing what I am today without the constant help and inspiration that I get from so many talented people that I have gotten the chance to work with. ....yourself highly included on that list....and I thank you always for that.
