To Cleida and Kristen – Your ongoing support and friendship means the world to me. Cleida, thank you for thinking of me every week. Your tireless support is very much appreciated, and Kristen, thank you for helping me get this book into everyone’s hands and for making sure nothing fell through the cracks.
