Rachel, that is beautiful.
Being a wonderful listener is a gift, and to help others hear what their own words are saying is treasure!

Beautiful introduction, Rachel--the words, the sentiment, the color, the flowers, the
"g(listening)"...everything about it. Looking forward to reading your book! It's on my wish list.

All the best, as you continue to march fourth ; ) and light the way for others.

Thank you Rachel for having the insight and the 'golden' spirit that lives in your heart and soul, from really listening and gleaning all of this from the many whose lives you've touched and now share in your beautiful book.

You have a beautiful and amazing gift, helping people to see their value and beauty and to ease their loneliness. How wonderful that you can collect these nuggets of wisdom and offer them to us in your beautiful art. Can't wait to read it all!

Sending you enough love to fill the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
