PUBLISHED!!!

I am officially published. As of May 13, 2009, I was a published writer. That's right. Maybe I should capitalize it. Published Writer. Published Writer. And in The Globe and Mail no less!!

What a total and amazing rush. Setting a goal to be published this year and then seeing my name in the byline of The Globe and Mail made me so ridiculously proud.

Everyone was so unbelieveably supportive - Steve, family, friends, colleagues - total rush.

Unfortunately the Globe online underwent a major redesign so I can't link to the article as it ran but I found a mobile version:

I also very much enjoyed the firestorm of comments that came out of my essay. There were 107 at last count - some very nasty and judgemental ones that questioned my decision to even have kids <gasp!> and others that were very supportive and totally understood what it meant to have a loving family - one that works together and believes that happy parents are great parents. Rush!!

And that's that. For now.
