John, it's so hard finding good enough words to express my appreciation for your beautiful response! Thank you for the thoughts and time behind this. <3

Not only do I feel blessed and lucky to have met you, but I'm inspired by you! Getting to be "a part of" your Medium journey is a gift - honestly.

You know something funny, I didn't realize the work and time it would take to find/choose and shine a light worth shining on writers (using an ABC format). Hah! Working on finishing up part 2 by tonight.

Yes, I think "Who I'm Reading This Week" or something along the lines of 7 reads per week would be much simpler and just as helpful to other writers! Looking forward to your lifts, no mater what form they're done in.

Thank you again, for your words of appreciation and reflection. The made my day!
