I just wanted to tell you that Maria has shared your fantastic news with me about your nominations to be announced in Arizona and New York!

All I can say is that when true and honest people do true and honest things from their heart – and then are recognized for the beauty it creates…all is well with the world.

From the bottom of my heart…Congratulations – to all of us here at Blossom you have already won, hands down.

Hugs , Carol D. aka “Danny’s hands”
Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf
