"... if you need someone to give you permission to lay down one of your spinning plates, I hope you have a daughter as wise as mine." Your children are such gifts in your life, Karena. What a wonderful event sharing your book! But sometimes life makes it clear that it's time to lay down some of the spinning plates. Love your family!

My children are gifts to me, Joann. You are so right. And their maturity, insights and wisdom.

It was a great event, Brooke. The poetry evening - in the presence of national masters who wield their way with words. A whole.new appreciation for words!

They spoke poetry to the history, to the Arabian Sea, to kings and conquests.

One wrote an Ode to a hotel.room in the Crowne Plaza Dubai. Hilarious!!

So happy you met Rahul. I read his book several years ago, yet it has stayed with me :)
