Dancing Snail Mail

http://slw.riskmetrics.com/envelope.jpg

Is there anything better than snail mail fan mail? Really. It's so encouraging to hear you've connected with a reader, and they've taken their time to let you know so.

This recently happened with a teen reader in Iowa. Without naming names, I wanted to share the photo she sent that is so beautiful. The funny thing is, we held the same roles in the Nutcracker! The first photo is hers and the second is mine at 15!

How amazing to connect regardless of time, place, and age. Here's to fans who take the time to snailmail, dancers who have bloomed into Nutcracker flowers, and good books that dance new friendships into our lives!

    I love this! And am terribly glad that no photos of me as an incompetent prepubescent tap-dancer are floating around.
