Tuesday evening after a very rough day (even though I folded all that tissue paper), this calandar arrived in my mailbox from my friend and coauthor Kathy. In nearly 21 years of friendship we have repeatedly found ourselves to live parallel lives and often by instinct, we know when something is going on in each other's life. We may not know exactly what, but somehow the vibes come across the country from Florida to Arizona and we are in tune. Almost subconsiously, we step in to support each other.

The sheer timing of receiving this calandar was serendipitious. It really made me smile on one of the roughest of days this week. And if you know Kyle, you know the message holds extra significance. Most importantly, it reminded me to lighten up. Ok, so I only lightened up a little but everything counts.
