I just got your book over the weekend. I am reading it very slowly. It is inspiring and scary at the same time.I am hoping that after reading this and 'paying attention' that I will stop floating through my life and start walking slowly and with awareness. Thank you for motivating me to actually experience my life.
I love that your art is actually your journey.
Your art attracted me to follow your journey,
but that is not what keeps me as a fan.
What keeps me is your willingness to put your life out there and share it.
As a result, I find even more interest in the art :) -

Hi Ms. Rae, congratulations on all your success big and small. You inspire me to follow my whispers know matter how many detours I seem to be making. I was in your first "flying" class and loved every minute of it!
