Dear Vicki,

I hope you are having a wonderful morning. I had a whole page of great, profound words I wanted to write about how much I love your book, but my cats keep walking in front of the computer screen!

I finished Life With A Hole In It It last night and wish I had your words to tell you how much it touched me and how much I want to share it with others. There are so many parts of the book that I underlined, put stars around and marked so I could go back and read them to people. I will have to order new books to give as gifts.

I’m a photographer so I thought I would express my gratitude to you for your gift of words and light with a picture. Two days ago I felt the need to go up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and walked a beautiful, overgrown nature trail in perfect solitude. I sat next to a tree and placed my hands on it because it felt so healing. When I read about your reading with Julia Melges-Brenner “…keep reaching for the light, moment by moment, reaching out and reaching up, and in this way, blossoming beautifully,” I wanted to share a photo of the tree which made me think of your spiritual journey.

Thank you so much, Vicki, for your courage in sharing your heart-breaking, yet uplifting and healing story. I’m now ready to begin “Bigger Than the Sky,” and am so excited about your new book. I also am getting ready to buy A Guru in the Guest Room.

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. It feels like the heat is breaking here in the mountains. I’m sitting here next to my open window feeling a cool breeze come through after a steady rain all night. It’s heaven!! And this year we’ve had no mosquitoes which has been wonderful. In previous years we had to cover our heads with towels, run to the car and then spend 10 minutes in the car waving our arms around like maniacs to kill the ones that got in the car! I thought South Carolina was bad, but who knew we would have so many mosquitoes here in the mountains! On that thought, I will shut up now!

Take care.
