I guess the 'reality' is that I'm getting older, which means so are most of my friends. However; we (me and my friends) don't consider ourselves 'old'. Just because most of us are over 60 (and some closer to 70 and even a few over 70) does not mean we are sitting on the front porch and drinking a glass of tea. We are active, vibrant and for the most part healthy. There are those of us; however, who are facing or have faced severe health challenges.

Myself, and many others, have just lost a dear friend to one of those health challenges. While she 'beat' the C several years ago, it resurfaced with a vengeance without warning and in just a few short weeks she left a loving family and countless friends.

Honoring and missing you, Sandra Kulesza, here is a video that was made to promote one of your dreams back in 2012-13. I remember how excited you were to create this and find just the right illustrator. You were always ahead of your time, and this idea of an adult coloring book is a prime example. Because, in just the last year it is now a national craze - you were ahead of the times. And, your leaving this life, while it was your soul choice, we who are left think this was one of the times when we wished you were not ahead of your time. You touched the lives of thousands of souls over the years and, while we grieve loosing you, we also celebrate you. You were and are a treasure. With Love ... until we meet again!
