This Valentine’s Day feels like a mini-Thanksgiving for me. Maybe it’s because I’m surrounded by so many wonderful people in my life that I thank Heavenly Father for them at all times. Jeff, the kids, my Baby Hulk, who’s so healthy and peaceful and beautiful, my parents. I’m blessed with many friends that have enriched my life in one way or another. One of such friends is Julie Daines. We’ve known each other for a while, but it wasn’t until we were together in our Writers’ group, The Sharks and Pebbles, that we became friends. Let me tell you, when a person reads your first drafts and still encourages you to keep on writing, you hold on to that friend, okay? She, along with our other writer companions, has glimpsed into the depths of my soul and still wants to be my friend. How cool is that?
