Blessed Greetings and Many Thanks

While for me it will be Christmas, but I know we're a diverse community and I respect that.

I have been daring to write and post stories here since 2012, I think. I feel indebted to sisters and brothers that dared to write before me. During the years I've learned a bit, though not near perfect. I appreciate the constructive critiquing, encouragement and readers.

I enjoy welcoming others coming into the community. I've enjoyed helping or encouraging a few, even sometimes when I think they're ahead of me. Everyone needs a safe place to write, read and be respected.

I think the next few years might be challenging if it becomes more acceptable again to discriminate against people. I hope we are willing to be there for others whether it's our issue or not.

Hugs, Jessica C/Bruce
