Tell AKMA Happy Birthday!

Stop over at AKMA's place today and say happy birthday!

My goodness when I met AKMA he was just a young man of 44. Now he is Very Very old.

But Seriously, there are two handfuls of people I've met through blogging who have made a difference in my life and the life of my family. There's one handful of these people who are so much part of my life's fabric that they are part of the reason I'm still here and still healing.

AKMA is one of those people. I thank him I thank him I thank him. He demonstrates in life and on his blog the meaning of Grace and kindness. Of wit and understanding. He has not let the conservative bushwhacks run away with his Christianity. Or my Christianity. He cares, truly cares, about people. He is an example of what it means for real human beings, with bumps and bruises and real-human-being-stuff, to have Faith.

He and his wife Margaret and his family are our friends and we are blessed to know them.

Happy Birthday AKMA!!!

(and don't forget the mountain goat!)

Guess what I'm blogging on....

OMG OMG OMG HOW COOL IS THIS?

Yes, indeed, thanks to the generosity and kindness of you, my reader-blog-friends -- and some of you I do not even know -- I am blogging this post on a spiffy new macbook that is SUPER fast, seems to be in an always-ready state, lots of cool weird software and a magnificently sensitive keyboard!!!!

I don't know what to say. I opened it, it did it's thing, and now I'm online. Just like it's supposed to work! I have to get used to this dock thing at the bottom of the screen--can I turn it off? I dunno. I don't know much of anything yet. Except that after 15+ years away from apple, here I am!!!

Thank you so much. Four years or so ago I got laid off and had to give my Dell back to The Company, and my reader-friends bought me a new-used Dell. That was incredible enough. It was one of the main reasons I was able to branch out on my own and build my own business and client base instead of running back to BigPR.

I never thought all these years later I would be blessed again after my Acer crashed with a new computer (AND NOT JUST ANY COMPUTER BUT THE COOLEST EVER according to Jenna), courtesy of you.

I thank you. All the Sessums thank you. This is amazing.

Jenna said to tell you all:
