Sunset at the beach.  Seagulls never miss it.  How many do you have in your life? Usually you're on the brink of being cold, but you don't care.  You're sandy and wet and hungry, but you have to stay till the end.  When the sun falls off the edge and you know the day is gone forever, you're smiling cause you know you will come back and share it again.  Except that one time.  The time you sat and talked with your stepfather.  It was the last time.  He told you of all the sunsets on the beach in his life.  There were so many, but they seemed to have rushed by so fast.  That was the last one with him.  How many will I have with my granddaughters?

Hi Bonnie,
I read your book a year or two ago. I have the distinct joy of being in this somewhat exclusive group of people known as the "Google Massage Therapists". I am in a couple of the Colorado offices (Boulder and Thornton, Colorado). Reading your book was so cool, because I have an insider's view of (almost) everything you speak of. I am so very blessed to be in the position I am in right now, no sign of stock options, but still a pretty good gig. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book. Hope you are well. dawnray01@gmail.com
