Laura,
I hope you don't mind me sigling you out, but I have been thinking about you a lot - especially as pertains to this board.
Quite a few months ago, as many of you will remember, Laura asked for some input as to why her posts didn't always bring about the response she had hoped for. Laura received quite a bit of (constructive) criticism. In receiving that criticism, Laura stepped back for a while and then returned here and continued on. She respected the ideas that others had offered, yet maintained her values and beliefs.
I think it took a lot of maturity and self esteem to internalize all that was said to you, Laura.
I just wanted to say thanks for being such a great example.
Love, Beth
