To my readers, thank you for taking the time and energy to read On Purpose. Without you the book has no purpose.

To my family and framily (friends who are family) — without you I would not be who I am today and I would not know how on earth anything would be possible. You are everything to me.

To my team who has been pivotal in this book, who believed in me and the idea, and who I look forward to working with as our journey continues.

To the community of women who have united to help each other — you believed in me, you let me dance like Ellen, and you lit the flame for this book.

To the people I have worked with, and for, over many years and countries — thank you for trusting and believing in me and my ideas.

To my creative Argentinian illustrators for bringing the characters of the fable to life.

To Wiley for giving me the opportunity to publish this book and bring it to life.

To the gift from above. I know my hand is not on my steering wheel and I am humbled to be given the life I have. Thank you for putting PLOT in my heart and for directing me to turn right (you will understand this after you read On Purpose).
