What you feel matters
Why you feel this way matters
You matter — to me

BONUS: If you’ve read this far, here’s an added bonus for you. This short (16 minutes) movie created in 2007 from writer/director Kurt Kuenne was first recommended to me by our friend, writer and editor, Mary Holden. With a timeless and moving message, this is a fable about a parking attendant who gives his customers REAL validation — dispensing both free parking and free compliments. Enjoy, and if you do, share!
