Dedication

A huge thank you to Mari Greene. I can only guess the amount of time it took for you to type up these poems. I love that you read so many of them. You are such a good friend.

And my thanks to April Kim, who took the time to read through the poems to help me make sense of what I want to include. As always, your feedback and insight have been invaluable. You are a wonderful blessing in my life.

This book is dedicated to five women who have served as role models and mentors. Each of them is dear to my heart. I can never thank them enough for their impact on my life, their loving support and counsel, and for their prayers. I would not be who I am without them. To: Pat Arndt, Roanna Bennie, Lori Holland and April Kim. And to my mother, Beulah Noah, whose love of poetry was instilled in me at an early age.
