My best friend Cindy. My best soul sister that I am proud to call my Friend

To my great friends, Antonia-who continues to love me as I change like a chameleon, Cousin Rita who taught me unconditional love, Wendy who comforted me through the dark night of the soul, Patrice who dances with my right brain, Grace, yes amazing Grace who enjoys get down laughter, and to Ellen-pediatric physical therapist from California-who read my manuscript, gave it to her California Women’s Book Club to review with I love it!.
