Being Neighborly

“This was my grandmother’s ring on my mom’s side of the family. She’s been saving it for me and swore I couldn’t have it without her blessing. She was thrilled when I asked for it for you.”
It slips right on. “It’s a perfect fit,” she sighs.
“You’re my perfect fit.”

Acknowledgments
You.
If you are uncertain if this applies to you, please allow me to elaborate. If you are reading this, it applies to you. If you have written a book I’ve read or read a book I’ve written, for all the mint chocolate chip ice cream in the world this applies to you. If we’re related, by choice or not, this most definitely applies to you. If you tell friends about the books you’ve read and loved, and if any of my books fall into that category, it abso-freaking-lutley applies to you. If you’ve reviewed a book and or emailed me or any writer after being moved by something they’ve written, it will forever apply to you. If you help craft an author’s words into its beautifully finished product by editing, proofing, or creating a gorgeous cover to show it off to the world, it without a doubt applies to you. If you’ve been there for me during my moments of self doubt and offered me words of encouragement on this incredible journey, until I have no stories left to tell, it will apply to you.
Thank you.
