This site - this perspective - is only possible as a result of the
support, friendship, love, and insight
from the individuals listed here.
I am grateful to each of you.

Lawrence Monfort, who has been known to say, "Mom, why are you doing this? (housework) Go get on the computer and do your dream."

Lynn Monfort, creativity incarnate, who never gave up,
even when I wanted her to.

Rachel Louise Webster Singleton, my grandmother,
whose last words set my heart in motion.

Ellen McArdle, a passionate believer and the first contributor.

Anita Cereceda, Kim Algaier, Kip Buntrock, Dan Cronin, and Lindsay Smith,
whose initial positive responses to the site idea
helped fan the flames.

Carol Conway and Hap Personett, who know there's more to work than working, and always gave more than a paycheck.

Anna Monfort, who is raising children with gratitude, inner beauty, creativity, and strength: reflections of her own soul.

Rob Bruhl, whose faith, vision and laughter is pure inspiration.

Terry Scott, who once traveled half-way 'round the world
just to hear my words in person.

Jeff McCullers, whose friendship and kindred spirit kept the light on
during strange times.

Jeff Roberti, whose success and determination has always been
a source of inspiration.

Erin Bullock, whose patience and eye for beauty established the site design,
and whose heart made it a donation.

Dawn Peirano, whose encouragement
was bigger and better than she thought.

Doug Molloy and Richard Johnston,
w ho probably still do a mean 'Fungi Mama',
complete with Three Stooges sound effects.

Friedrich Jaeger, Libby Grimm, and Kathleen Blase of
Times of the Islands magazine for helping get the word out.

Roxanne Sangiacomo, who gave me permission to really mess things up,
if that's what I decide to do.

Tony Howard, Chris Grooms, Mary Ann Andrade, Peggy Brown,
Norma Rosati, Jeananne Grace, and every other high school and
college instructor in the fields of writing and literature,
drama, history, arts and culture.
Our inheritance from those who came before,
our gifts to our fellow travelers, and our legacy for those that follow
are the essence of our humanity.
