Sarah, my dear, I’m glad you stopped by to read, and that you didn’t take offense at my passion. A mark of a true friend, someone who can take the heat when the fires are stoked! xoxoxo

What a great story about your friend meeting the author!! It’s hard when we have passion about something and our friends don’t see it our way, I am glad your week got better though and started looking up!

Denise: yes, it was quite a let-down to have that amount of passion not be acknowledged by my group. However, that’s a life lesson in and of itself, and even though it hurt at the time, I’m ok.

Joe: I met with Carrie Host today, and found her completely open, honest and accessible. If you or Dom wanted to contact her, she would be back in touch with you. She obviously knows the pain (physical and emotional) of cancer, and would be open to talking with either of you.

Jack, when you read it, please let me know what you think! I heard from the author that some men have read it and have had vastly different responses to it than women, in that it offers insight into a woman’s brain. I look forward to chatting about it when you finish reading, whenever that might be. Cheers to you too!

I’m thinking about you, Anne. It sounds like things are hard right now. I’m thinking about you, dear. Rest well, and have a good evening.

I had a similar, though not as emotional, battle with my book club a few months ago. I gave up quickly when I realized it was me against all of them. How wonderfully serendipitous that your author and your book club member had that chance encounter.

I’ll pick up a copy of Carrie’s book next time I’m in Borders or online at Amazon. I could use a lift in life right now.

Lara – thanks for posting this, I am glad to hear that Monday is in the rear-view mirror and your week is soaring again. Amazing story about your friend coming into contact with the author – life has a great symmetry to it. I’ve stopped asking why lately and just accepted it.

I will definitely check out this book as I find my friend’s cancer battle is taking as much an emotional and pyschological toll on him as the physical. Anything I can do to help him through this (in addition to running like a crazy person) is something I want to pursue with great vigor and dedication.

Thanks again Lara – you are an inspiration.
