blessings

Rodney, I think of you all the time. The postcard that you gave me is posted by my computer at work and I see your inspirational art work and words everywhere! I can tell you it never loses it luster to see a lithograph of yours. I excitedly text my sister no matter where I see your work whether it be Target or at the high end framing store… every time! When I saw your calendar at Barnes and Noble, patrons near me thought I had turrets syndrome, I think I yelled out loud in joy. Your success is a delight!

I feel so fortunate to have had dinner with you in the North End of Boston. Do you remember? It was a sparkling snow storm…you, Stephanie, Ali, and I had dinner, tucked in the glow of the most authentic Italian restaurant. Like it was yesterday I can remember being completely enamored by you, your stories, just how beautiful you are. I remember thinking how cool you were to write down your inspirations in a notebook or a napkin right at the moment you felt something. I had a chance to meet you and get a glimpse of your tremendous amount of character, depth, and sincerity… it’s no wonder I think so fondly of meeting you all those years ago.

Along with your loved ones and dear friends…so many feel blessed by your presence and your work. I believe that your amazing creative energy will manifest itself into healing! In the mean time, please know I am joining the masses and sending my love and hope for speedy recovery.

Love,
Lauren Dehner
