It’s constructed from an old piece of molding, a vintage doorknob and metal shaped rings. Dedication To my husband, John, who knew, well before I did, what I could do. Without a doubt, you have taught me how love unearths the best parts of ourselves. I’d also like to dedicate this book, and the experience of putting it together, to the spirit of Possibility, how it gracefully enters our lives and gives us a chance to see our own potential. What a remarkable, life-changing thing.
