Real Women

This is not simply a book, but hours...weeks...years-ful of loving work! My friend Sandy (center in photo above) has filled her pages with stories of amazing women who have touched her life. While reading it I guarantee that you will see your own friends through her words...possibly even yourself. You will be inspired to live a life that says, "I love each day!" Run down to your favorite book shoppe and spend an afternoon with some "Real Women."

Point Atkinson

On an afternoon drive through Vancouver, we found this lighthouse tucked away near the coast. A short hike brought us to a lookout...I sat on the rocks and relaxed into my surroundings. The sky was amazingly blue overhead...the waves lapped softly below me. I was missing my journal, but a photo was snapped in order that this moment could be caught forever. 

Whole Again

As I sat across from her at the table, I could feel the life running through me. We had been apart for so long that I had almost forgotten the deep connection we share. It used to feel as if where I left off...she began & vice versa. Two women in different stages of life, yet learning from each other in unimaginable ways.

Life pulled us apart for a season, but we've found our way back...in some ways the distance will make us closer in the end, as the loss made it clear what we mean to each other.

We caught up for hours & yet barely scratched the surface. I envision many such meetings in our future...chats over coffee...laughter spilling into the darkness of walk-filled nights...hugs and smiles and memory making.

She said tonight that we are soul mates...and I have every reason to believe her.

The World Through a Writer's Eyes...

As a painter sees the world in water color, so I see the world in words...
