Thank you to my editors, Amber Guetebier and Sandy Doell, for your support, life experience, caring, and expertise; Kevin Bellows, friend and editor; Jeanne Rust, for listening to my struggles and being a constant source of love and support.

Thank you Jennifer Armstrong, my technology guru, who freed me from communication complexities by simplifying my computer processing.

Thank you members of IWOSC (Independent Writers of Southern California), particularly Alice Romano and Melanie Chartoff and the UCLA Writers Program for sharing your expertise and encouragement.

Thank you to every patient I've ever worked with for your courage, wisdom, and trust as you shared your journey to recovery with me.

Thank you to my great friends and teachers—especially Lars and Ingeborg Lofgren and Hedda Bolgar—for your words of wisdom ringing and whispering in my mind. Your guidance in my own recovery path was always mixed with love.

Thank you to my daughter, Deborah, and my son-in-law, David, for your steadfast confidence that I would succeed. And thanks to my terrier, Winston, who is always ready to take a walk when I need a break from writing.

Most of all, I acknowledge and am grateful to my two granddaughters who, at the time of this writing, are three and five years old; Hannah Jane Rainbow and Delilah Noel Starfish. You continually gave me your uninhibited love, support, and inspiration—plus encouraging art work. You inspired me and provided constant examples of the healthy, creative, and joyous feminine life spirit that needs to be fostered, cherished, and respected by us all.
