Parting Words

These are not just words...

As I sit here and realize that this title year is over, I have so many things I want to say, so please indulge me for just a minute. I have met some of the most amazing and loving people this year! These people have put me up in their homes or let me crash in their hotel rooms. These people have bought me a drink or dinner. But most importantly, they gave me a piece of their hearts and time. Thank you all for inviting me into your homes and into your lives. Thank you for believing in me and supporting me in my travels and in my passion. Truly, I tell you that this title is about passion. It's about one of the things I cherish most, "It's all about the boots!". I have had the honor of doing boots in most of the cities I have been to this year. I have had the pleasure of serving my community in this way. Thank you to all of the events that have invited me to take part in their weekend! I had a grand time. Thank you to the AMAZING and LONG list of people that truly made this year special. Thank you for the support and kindness. There are so many to thank and mention that I cannot do that here, but there are a few I want to mention.

To my Judges, Gwen, Philip, and Black - Thank you for the support and honor this year. To Sir Robert and boy ivan - what a ride thank you for taking it with me. Karen and Michael - Thank you for the courage and the fun. Spanky - Friends now and always, I love you! To Alan, Izzy, Booboo, and Suka - Thank you for welcoming me into the Family! Whipmaster Bob, BootPig and Piglet - Thank you all for the friendship and the conversations. To Daddy Shane - You put your Collar on me at the beginning of this journey and I am proud to wear it... you and Mark have been a wonderful support for me, thank you.

For now, I leave you all with one final thought... "Be the Light you wish to see in the world."

My Love,
