Wiliam Carlos Williams No earthly being could have ever known that it would be these eight short lines that stoked my intense love for language and the power that is possible with each and every word. And in this journey, it has been words, whether spoken, read, or written, that have been the joy which has delivered me to this place I now inhabit. Really no different, just a journey that included many many words. To my husband, Carl, for the endless support in this endeavor. Had you not kept taking on the burden, without a complaint, I just could not have done. And as we grow old, you can count on me to support a future with a little sun and a lot of golf. To my children, Brynn, Connor, and Mats for not quite understanding why their mom went to school and had homework, yet reaped the benefits of keen academic skills –an incredible talent for highlighting, a necessity for facts to back up any argument, and an arsenal of the best sticky notes and ink pens. To my village, especially my mom and dad. Hot meals, a clean house, kids’ homework... these were the pieces that made this possible for our family, but most important, a lifetime of love and encouragement where I only remember the two of you on the sidelines cheering me every step of the way. To Ann Brady I cannot imagine having survived the writing without your weekly encouragement and smart feedback, getting me back on track each and every time. When I arrived, you were there with a smile, genuine interest in life outside of writing, and your keen insights and brilliant nudges to get me “thinking harder.” No student shall pass through my door without emulating these key ingredients for success, as inspired by your mentoring. A lot can be accomplished with a kind soul.
