Hello Lissi, 

Big Huggles to you!!!! 

I have spoken with Lissi on the phone and she is a true sweetheart in this
world. 

Heya, Lissi, I should be around this weekend if you would like to spend
another hour on the phone.

And the validation goes to Lissi!!!

applause...standing ovation!!!

I couldn't have accomplished this without the help of so many wonderful 
people. My heartfelt thanks go to Carrie for scanning and off list advice, 
Kaitlyn for a phone lesson, Mike and Cindy for patient, and clear step by 
step instructions, Gerald for lending his professional expertise, for 
talking me through it and for never giving up when my computer couldn't find

my corrected book, the Wednesday conference callers for their enthusiasm, 
Robert and Maria for helping me download my first book, Peter and Marissa 
for helping me to register and all of you on this list because through all 
of my questions, I never sensed criticism. Thank you to God, to my parents 
for having me, to Popeye and Blackberry for holding it when I wasn't at a 
good stopping place while validating and...the orchestra blares, I'm firmly 
herded off stage and we fade to a commercial...

My book was rated fair when I downloaded and excellent, with 99.96 accuracy 
when it was accepted!

What a happy day!

Always With Love,

Lissi
