...This is not a "how-to book." It belongs in the romance, comedy, and drama sections. I hope my collection of stories help me move forward along the path of expressing love and gratitude, my spark plugs......As I try to patch the pieces of history together, it is a beautiful quilt, with those celebrated experiences placed together in a vibrant, colorful display. I have a little celebration with myself as I reflect and write......Love among women means encouragement, vulnerability, and the brave risk to love differently. It means to support, have fun, and compliment one another. It means to survive and flourish together......I wonder if Grandma looked at her ring like I do with my bracelet, if she touched it, which warmed her heart and soul as she thought of the sons she lost......I embrace the appreciation of diversity, including differences in gender, sexual preference, parenting styles, political opinions, and more......Our beautiful journey began when the universe willed it. We became a sense of one as the friendship grew. Longevity is worth celebrating......I smile deeply and embrace my spark plugs. I celebrate by expressing my love, gratitude, and recognition.
