Acknowledgements

From Sue:

To Beth, thank you for your patience and support of this and other projects.

To my many teachers, both esoteric and mundane, thank you for what you've tried so hard to teach me. I hope to do you honor with what I have presented here.

To Michael Bisbiglia – thank you for being the evidence that partnership actually works!

From Michael:

To the challenge of my wife Billie and son Tim for their putting up with my many crazy projects and long hours, and their uncertainty of my success which just made me work all the harder.

To Sue Wilhite for being a mentor and guide in the literary world and truly fun to work with, and I’m sure my mother, wife, or fellow monk in a previous lifetime.

To my friend the Word Wizard Jacquelyn Aldana and her work in the 15 Minute Miracle, which gave me inspiration and a platform for me achieving my goals in life.

To my friend Sunnee K. Roman and the work we did together in creating the book I Forgive, which gave me an invaluable experience in writing.

From both of us:

Thanks also to the many clients over the years for whom we have read, who contributed many and varied experiences for us as readers, and who greatly contributed to the writing of this book.

We would like to acknowledge East West Bookshop in Mountain View, California, for supporting our creative journey, as well as the Gyros House Restaurant on Castro Street for the great food and place to create this work. Thank you, Rossi!

And of course, thanks to all of our teachers and mentors, and guides along the path over the years, without whom we would not have been able to do this project.
