There are many people who have helped with this book, but a special thanks goes to Heather Roberts for all of her hard work in promoting and helping keep me on track. You are a wonderful friend and publicist, and must have the patience of a saint to deal with me.
Thank you Joy Editing for the wonderful editing and proofreading job done by Cassie and Devon. And thank you, Leigh Stone for the beautiful formatting job (and for being an amazing person all around).
I’d like to thank Cara Gadero, Lucy Taylor, and Jen Lum for being such wonderful people and always offering support and advice. Love you ladies!
Taylor, it’s been amazing writing this book with you. You’re a talented writer and a wonderful friend.
Thank you to LP Lovell for being an amazing friend who will always be there when I have a mental breakdown. I know I have found a rare friend in you, my British Boo.
Stephanie T., I love you more than you could ever know. You have always encouraged me. I can’t thank you enough for loving me the way you do.
AJ, I couldn’t think of a better person to be my sea turtle.
Panda 1: I love you and our bamboo forest.
Angela, you make my heart smile.
Finally, to all the amazing bloggers and readers who support these books, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you, there would be no reason to write these words. Thank you for letting me do what I love.
I have to first thank the Lord. It’s been a long road, and one I’ve veered off of frequently, but His love and guidance has never wavered. I will never forget the second chance at life He gave me.
Major David Gladney Taylor, thank you for being you and for the sacrifice you and your family have made for this country. You are in my thoughts always.
Michelle, Jake, Joanne, Joe, and Kay, thank you so much for accepting me into your incredible family. I feel honored and blessed to know you. It means the world that through such a tragedy, I was at least able to meet some of the kindest, strongest, most generous people I’ve ever met. Love y’all!
Pops, Brad and Britto, you are my strength. I know, without a doubt, I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for your love and support. I love you guys more than anything and can’t thank you enough for sticking it out with me.
To my boys (and girl!), Rob, Krotch, Andrew, and Beth, thank you for always having my back. You know I’ve got yours forever. Same goes for my VETSports crew, Kevin, Margaret, Jennifer, Jenifer, Johnson, Randy and Bryan.
Stevie, what can I say? You’re an amazing co-author and an even better friend. This has been a wonderful writing experience and I look forward to many more.
To my book family, Golden, Michael, Harper, Heidi, Christopher, Reggie, Shauna, Mikey, Amy and of course the other R&E Frat bros, Michael, Daryl, SD, Seth and Eddie, y’all are amazing! This beautiful industry has been like a second family to me and it’s because of you all. Thanks for all that you do, and more importantly, all that you give to others.
To Cat and Cara, thank you for all your hard work and for taking on the complicated job of keeping me in line! You two have been game changers. It’s a true pleasure to work with you and an honor to have you on my team. I of course can’t forget the other 3Bs who work tirelessly to get the right words out of me. Your dedication and commitment is unmatched and so very appreciated! Thank you Jen, Holly, Jenn, Lucy, Amy, Nikki, Blue, Stefani, Angela, Jennifer, and Kristen!
Last, but most certainly not least, a massive thank you to my readers. I never thought people would be interested in reading my stories. I never thought my words were worthy of sharing. You’ve instilled in me a total belief in myself and God’s plan for me that I never had before. Without you, I’d be lost. You mean so much to me and I’ll spend the rest of my life declaring it loudly. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
