Thanks for Asking

Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for pushing me to do the things I don't want to do
All my life I have refused to do what others tell me.
The surest way to make sure I won't do something, is to tell me to do it
With you it's different
It has to do with the promise I made to you back in the summer of 2009
To ALWAYS say yes to those little ideas that pop into my mind
Since then you have put so many little ideas into my mind
I know it's you
Because it sure isn't me
You have pushed me to do so many things that I had no interest in doing AT ALL
The latest one is the Messages for Michael that I am bringing for you
I am not artistic
I have no interest in making things pretty
I certainly didn't want the responsibility of taking people's messages to LA
I don't have time
These are all the excuses that make perfect sense to me
Good reasons not to get involved.
Just when I had told myself all this, feeling sure about it,
I found myself sending an email to all the people who have bought Ever After,
offering to take their messages to you at Forest Lawn and Neverland.
Evan as I was sending the email, I was arguing with myself,
Don't do this, why are you doing this?
I did it
The response was overwhelming
I have spent the last 2 weeks printing, cutting, gluing,
buying paper, stickers, sending emails, taking pictures
All while getting my business and myself ready to go
I have cried over the beautiful poems and letters and pictures
people have trusted me with.
My heart is bursting with love for these beautiful people
 who love you as much as I do
I am honored to be doing this small thing
for you Michael, for them, and for me
There is nothing I would rather be doing
Thanks for asking
