There are so many things I want to say after reading this, about what a great writer you are, what a great friend you are, what a great partner in crime you've been but before I could process any of those thoughts I had to walk away from the laptop a few times before I finished reading it. There was, in my walks over to the window, resounding emotion and some teary eyes. I am so proud of the work we've accomplished and there is no one I would have rather done it with it. Ever. Onwards. Great things are happening!

I feel exactly the same way- I am grateful beyond measure that the universe put us in each other’s path, and I am so excited for all that is to come. No one I’d rather do it with! Cheers to creating great things together!

Hi Dina, good luck with writing your book. I’m a bit past mid-life crisis but I’m sure it will be a fun and enjoyable read! You are a beautiful reflection of your beautiful mom and I know she is watching from her place in heaven! 🥰.

The full circle moments — and yes, fearlessness you have exhibited! — are phenomenal and I could not be more thrilled to have contributed to this anthology. I cannot wait for it to hit shelves and bring women together even more. xx
