As always when I read your stories, I’m laughing, Sherry. Not laughing at your self pity, don’t get me wrong. Just laughing because you find such colorful words. Love you writing style.

My mantra is somewhat more positive than yours. But then, I don’t have to deal with this bad hairdo guy for a president. Hang in there, you folks might vote for some great young woman once and have New Zealand style government. Miracles have happened you know.

And that might be my mantra too. When I was young and wanted to get my story in Cosmopolitan, I just sent it again, although they said not to bother. It’s about believing, not giving a sh*t and daring. Life is fun just trying stuff, you know!

I just take one step at the time and when I fall I stand up and like a little child just try again. Perseverance. Not looking back. It’s never too late. I feel like I’m eating desert now. And I’ll make it the best desert ever!

Sweet, exotic, adventurous and yummy. Keep up the good spirits and count your blessings. It isn’t over before it’s over…
