Hey Rebecca...Thanks for accepting my friend request.
Great talk Wednesday night in Dallas. Really enjoyed hearing more about the book, your odyssey and the Q&A. Thank you.
You were great on Colbert. (It might've been an old episode--I'm not up on my TV watching, but even if I'm really late, Kudos!) I'm look forward to reading your book.
