A passages from my best selling book BRUSH STROKES @ Amazon. com “A man may admire what a woman does for a living; he may admire her education and social circle. He may be enamored with her physical beauty, but he only truly falls in love, with the softest and warmest part of her, her soul.”
Happy New Year, my darling! I haven't called you yet because I have bronchitis and can only talk for so long.. Great way to ring in the year, eh? LOVE YOU!
