Mentors and Friends...

I can't tell you how much I have benefited from lovely, wonderful, generous people who have taken the time to answer questions, give a few pointers, and instill a little confidence.

So today, I just want to say thank you to these wonderful people, artists, family, and friends: my Mom and Dad (Sam and Karen Adams), my husband--Scott Flaten, my sister--Aarie, Katie Bracken, Joyce Robles, Wayne Gudmundson, Alison Lea Geier, Don Clark, Dave Arntson, Britta Trygstad, Kevin Kubota, Craig Strong, Kecia Kubota, Amber Larkin, Becca Hamilton, Christina Beck, Emily Heath, Catherine McKinley, Ticia Mangino, Caron Von Orman, Elaine Begley, Eryn Wags, Jacqueline Amparo, Heather Lussier, Jonnie Maunder, Lora McKnight, Sherlynn Borkgren, Toria Mole, and Tawyna Hood, Doug Gordon, Evan Lipson, Tanya Martineau, Penny Burns, Ty and Lindsay Hagerott, Ria Czichotzki, Mandy Anderson, Ann Monteith, and Dane Sanders...and of course all you brave people who caught a glimpse of my enthusiasm and trusted me to tell your story from my point of view.

If you don't recognize these names, google them--and you might catch a little inspiration too!

Oh, I'm sure I missed someone--so many people have impacted my life! Thank you friends--you have encouraged me to stay the course and pursue my niche--to do what I have been created to do!
