Well said Sally - I hope the community here in Medium remains a protected gem that all of us as readers protect ferociously - I feel the same gratitude at 6 months, I can't imagine the appreciation after a year! Thanks for being here and all you do; I've heard only the best of you from the moment I started, and have enjoyed everything you write! As an editor you've helped so many of us newbies...much gratitude for you and what you've contributed to this community! Keep having an amazing journey!!
