Oh my goodness... I so understand this. Too well. Also, I'm glad you wrote it and mentioned my name...because it alerted me to the fact that I haven't been getting your emails, even though I'm still following!

It is TOO easy to hit one button and cancel all of one's email folks. So that's a piece of (albeit small--more about my loss than yours!) something :)

We really do need to support each other and look out for each and include.

Your anthology is so strong. I do hope it's finding its way into classroom and school libraries.

Come to think of it, have you asked local schools if they might have 20 minutes of time for you to share it on the next pro d day they have?? To share and model a quick lesson plan? It might be worth it.

(Then the teachers/librarians can BUY it!)
