"I love your work and enjoy reading the
stories. I have an angel dog who is getting on in years and I am dreading the
day that she'll no longer be around. I have a friend who is in the same
position; I will give this book to her. Keep up the good work. Your stories are
very inspirational and eye opening."

network and listening to your inner voice!"
