Congrats Diane! She's worked hard on this project and I wish her all the best with its success.

Quick Note: I'll be back on Friday with my reflections on the Overcoming Adversity blogfest and what happens next. In the meantime, Andrew and I want to once again say a massive THANK YOU to each and every one of you who contributed, because I know that some of those stories can't have been easy to write and share. It was emotional to say the least. You're all an inspiration and you rock!
