We’d like to thank all of our contributors for bravely sharing their stories with such honesty, vulnerability, and beauty. You have touched us deeply and inspire us with your courage and wisdom. We are so very grateful for each of you.
We want to give special acknowledgment to Vytas Baskauskas, Ruby Corley, Seane Corn, Angela Wix and the team at Llewellyn, Elyse Tanzillo, and Frank Weiman. Without you, this book would not be the special collection of voices that it is.
We also want to thank the teachers who have taught and inspired us over the years. In addition, we want to acknowledge our wonderful students who compel us to continue doing this work. You are also our teachers and a beacon of light.
Finally, we want to express our love and appreciation for the family and friends who buoy us daily. You make all our efforts worth it. We love you.
