I know it may seem odd to some folks that I want to thank my social media family, but these folks have been there for me—even though many of them I’ve never personally met. They have reached through cyberspace to encourage, motivate, empower, inspire, and celebrate me. They have prayed for me, encouraged me, enlightened me, and oftentimes put a huge smile on my face. Thank you so much to JE, Carla, Tashmir, Bettie, Yasmin, Jetola, Julie, Sheryl, Noelle, Sheretta, Crystal, Sammi, Cindy, Kimberlee, Alicia, Marsha, Jonathan, Judy, Olivia, Juanita, Angela, Ashara, Nicole, Gwen, Denise, Tanisha, Deborah, Romenia, Sonia, Kim, Beverly, Shannon, Antoinette, Gina, Carmen, Christina, Princess, Maurice, Lisa, Nedra, Donna, Nicki, Gee Gee, Dorothy, Jackie, Gloria, Nikki, Tracey, Christina, Paula, Tonia, Chevonne, Rochelle, Mia, Demetria, Sheila, Raquel, Loretta, Allyson, Stacy, Jakki, Chenoa, Gwen, Karen, Tameka, Cebrina, Margueritte, Tiffany, Tawni, Bernice, Errie, Miracle, Dawn, Charlene, Pam, Donnie, Seven, Dee, and Cecelia. (I know there are many more, but I need to wrap up at some point!)
I’m not going to start naming book clubs because I always leave someone out. But major love to the book clubs who show me so much love, including those who have me back time and time again.
As always, much love goes to my wonderful, illustrious sorors, especially the Houston Metropolitan Chapters (including my own, Mu Kappa Omega), our wonderful Regional Director Chelle Wilson, and my sister moms in the Missouri City/Sugar Land Chapter of Jack and Jill.
And finally, thank you. Yeah, you holding this book. If it weren’t for your support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. If you’re a new reader, thanks for checking me out. I hope you’ll get hooked. If you’re a previous reader, thanks for coming back. If you enjoy this story, I just ask one more thing . . . pass the word, not the book!
I know I said I wasn’t going to get caught up doing acknowledgments again, but when you have such wonderful people in your life, that’s a promise that’s just hard to keep.
Until the next book . . . thanks for the love.
