Hey there! Just catching up a bit on your blog. I’m thinking the minister you may have possibly met is Yvette Flunder, from City of Refuge UCC. I’ve known her for years, and she is a completely awesome woman.

Congratulations, Heather! You deserve so much thanks and appreciation for what you do (and all the relaxation you can get now that the crazy travel is over!). I hope that some of those difficult conversations translate into good things for Scarleteen and that the book sales continue at least as well as they’ve done so far.

As far as “wife-beater:” you could go British/Aussie and say “singlet” (I’m partial to that, gotta say). I’ve never heard “A-shirt” before… is it a regional thing, maybe?

Oh, Heather… you deserve all of this goodness so, so much. You also deserve a pile of cash, a long vacation and twelve solid hours of sleep every day for a month! Congratulations!

(Oh, and I second the A-shirt for wifebeater– A stands for “athletic” and I’ve used it in my fiction a couple of times without complaints from editors. I’ve also heard them called “boy beaters” when worn by girls.)

It’s about time that you are finally getting public recognition for your valuable work. I’ve read the other awards on your Flickr site. Is it possible to take a photo of your glass (lucite?) “dental dam” so that we may read the inscription?

Congratulations on the award, the night alone in the hotel room, the royalties on the horizon, and putting word out that Scarleteen needs help to people who could be in a position to give it. It made me really happy to read those things and think of you clutching your wrapped-up award.

You’re amazing, and deserve all these good things. I’m so happy for you, my friend.

“wife beater”: Jonathon used to get all tongue-in-cheek about it and call it a “life-partner beater”, but mostly I hear people these days calling them “a-shirts.” Dunno where it comes from, but that’s what I’ve been hearing people say.

errr… stupid errant mouse…

“I’m glad you’re getting recognized for a small fraction of what you bring to our culture.”

Congratulations and, at least as importantly, thank you!

So sorry I missed you this trip, glad that you had a good visit (modulo the rain)!

And I’d say “congratulations”, but I’ll say it as “I’m glad y
