Acknowledgments

All my life I have been blessed with an exceptional family and cheering friends who have endured my crazy ideas and believed in me. I am especially grateful to my husband, Tom, for letting me fly, and to my children, Meghan, Matthew, Kevin, and Brian, for schlepping, encouraging, and supporting me, while growing up with their art mom. I am who I am because of my dad, who taught me to visualize ridiculous dreams and inspired in me a tenacious free spirit to make things happen. This I know for sure: big dreams come true for those who see them.
