Every time I read something you write, I feel this wonderful sense of belonging. I just find myself nodding, yes, yes, yes, to pretty much everything. Alas, I've never read anything by Toni Morrison, but now I must!

I once went full-on CRAZY on Toni Morrison when we shared an elevator ride together. I mean, I FREAKED OUT. I don't think she said a word, I just shouted down 15 flights how much I loved her and I thanked her and I said something about God and the universe.....there's a photo of the two of us somewhere where I look out of my mind with happiness and she is standing next to me with a slightly horrified look on her face that says, please make this quick, this woman is NUTS.

Yes, seriously. I cannot find the photo, though I know it exists somewhere. Funniest photo of all time, really. I mean, I literally attacked her in that elevator! Full body motions, using my hands and arms as i tried to REALLY TELL her my thoughts and gratitude! Oh my god!! hahahahaha!!!
