Hello from Chicago.

Hey there say hi to my friend and fellow DT member Jenn Emch from allmomentsremembered.com she is one of your assistants this weekend!

Ali, I just read on your sister's blog about your grandmother's passing. I wanted to send you my condolences and hope that when you come back in town you'll have plenty of time to be with family to enjoy all the wonderful memories and stories of Grandma, as well as to enjoy some together time with those still here.

Ali, I LOVED the Evolution class. I totally "get" why everyone loves you so much. After meeting you, its hard not to! Thank you for a wonderful CKU experience.

Hi Ali, I've just read your moms and sisters blog's and really wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your grandmother, but what a wonderful life she must of had to have a family like you.
Be sure to remember the happy times.
Take care and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Hey, Ali! Hope you made it home ok! I'm sooo enjoying my Evolution album, and remering the good moments at CKU! Check out the pictures in my blog when you have some time!
Love, Débora (from Brazil, the one with the huge strawberries, in case you can't remember! :))

Hi Ali
Just felt compelled to tell you that you are a source of great inspiration to me.Having lost a child to a genetic disease and recently finding out my first born suffers from a similar type of condition, (although, hopefully not to such a great extent ),I constantly feel uplifted by your creativity and words of wisdom. I find your work encourages me to step outside my creative bounderies and give anything a shot, which in itself is a wonderful learning experience. I feel happy to have tried something so I can then teach my girls the same.
I feel happy thanks to you.
