Last night several things all came together. I was looking over the first couple of parts of my story 'Catwalk Confidence'. The first thing I noticed while looking it over was boy do I need to go back and clean this up a bit. The second thing I noticed was that within the storyline, it has been almost a year since young Alex started writing in his, excuse me, her journal.

I then realized that this is the 52nd week that I have been a member of this wonderful site, yup, an entire year. It hardly seems like it's been that long. I started off here just lurking in the background, hardly believing what I was seeing. Here was a community that I could fit in with, people that could relate to me and me to them. Wow.

I was originally drawn here because of the stories. Well this is a story site after all, but at the same time it's so much more. Here I found stories that I really liked. Stories that weren't porn, which was the majority of what I had been finding.

It took me about six months to get up the nerve to post my first story and who would have thought that 'Catwalk' would still be going strong today? The third thing I noticed last night was my Kudo count just hit 2000. I got to admit that I kinda got a bit choked up about that.

Since I started posting, the encouragement I've received from you all has been tremendous and I greatly and truly appreciate it.

So to everyone here, Thank You. Thank you very much. Thank you Erin for providing this wonderful place for all of us.

In this magical of seasons, may bright blessings fall upon all of you and all you hold dear.

Thank you again dear friends.

Much love and my sincere appreciation for the gift of knowing all of you.
