Leslie dear.

I was thrilled to hear the sound of your voice.

You were totally in your power.

Before I opened this email I had just read some quotes from a small book called

" LIFE", selected quotations from the author, PAULO COELHO. .

For you...

"In his or her life

each person can take one of two attitudes:

to build or to plant.

Builders may take years over their tasks,

but one day they will finish what they are doing.

Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls.

Life becomes meaningless once the building is finished.

Those who plant suffer the storms

and the seasons and rarely rest.

Unlike a building a garden never stops growing.

And by its constant demands

on the gardener's attentions,

it makes of the gardener's life a great adventure."

from BRIDA, by Paul Coelho
