Under the Cornerstone (45 page)

Kathy, get the fuck outta here! I’m so lucky to have met you, and found a friend in you. I also know that if I ever tour this country or world, I’m taking you as part of the security team just so I can watch you tell people to get the fuck outta here! Thank you for years of support, devotion, and guidance. I’m working on your phone book.

Donna C, Donna J, and LaDonna, I’ve met you through a mutual friend and we’ve quickly become friends. There are people whose name pop up on my phone from time to time, and it simply elicits a smile. You are two of those people. Thank you for your support and help.

Teresa, the things you have done for releases and in the name of supporting my work still blows my mind. I have no idea how I was lucky enough to find you, but I am grateful that I did. One day I hope to throw my arms around your neck and tell you face-to-face how much your support and love has impacted me as an author. For now, I can only say thanks here. I’m not sure if you realize how much it means for someone to show the level of dedication to my work that you have, but I hope this helps to send that message.

Leona, you were the first person who ever took a chance on me. I’ll never forget that, not as long as I live. We don’t talk every day, or even every week, but I’m always thinking of you. You have one of the kindest spirits I’ve ever met, and hopefully one day I can repay you by finding you that pirate you’ve been searching for. I’m not sure how else I can express how much I love you.

Jamie, there is never a day that goes by that I’m not tagged by you in a post where you relentlessly pimp me. I’m not sure what I did to earn your amazing friendship, but thank you. Your support and commitment make me emotional and shit.

Erika, Kim, Kathy, Leona, Polly, Lisa, Sherry, Mary, Chrissy, Lori, Jamie, Robyn, Mandi, Dicksy, Sharon, Amy, Terri, Brittany, Teresa (all three of you), Monica, Emily, Theresa, Donna C., Sloan, Donna J., LaDonna, and Tiffany, thank you for being my partners-in-crime. I think of all of you on a daily basis. I enjoy your humor and wish the world were full of people more like you. I appreciate your love and support more than words can ever express. I look forward to speaking to each of you every single time I get the chance. This is my ride or die crew, always dope as fuck.

Highly Suspect, thank you for the inspiration. It takes someone exceptionally talented to write a song great enough to inspire an entire novel. I hope that your careers are filled with achievement and prosperity. I wish for your personal lives; love, enlightenment, peace, passion, compassion, and humility. I hope that as your artistry grows, you each grow as well. Remember that fame is one of the loneliest places in the world, so keep your circle tight, do right by others, and be original. Don’t let greed or ego dim your light, as they’ll never keep you warm at night. You have a sound unlike anyone I have ever heard, and that authentic sound is what drew me to your music. I ca
n’t say you sounded like any other band or artist. Thank you for your brilliance.

I never intentionally leave someone out, so if your name wasn’t specifically mentioned, it’s not that I don’t love you or think of you. It’s only that my memory is awful. I adore you all.

Peace, Love, & Sasha
