Thank you for taking time to read Notes to My Loves. I was inspired to write this book about ten years ago. It began as a thought and evolved into something I didn't expect, and it has taught me priceless lessons that I am excited to share with you. When I was a little girl, I loved eating at the Chinese restaurant because I knew that after dinner, I was going to get a fortune cookie. The anticipation and excitement I felt knowing that at the end of my meal I would be getting a positive note concerning my bright future was special and something I would share with others I cared about. When we write a note, it should be positive and uplifting. Never leave a negative note for your love because they will never forget it! It's almost like branding "negative" in their memory, and the next time they see a note from you, they will look at it and say, "Oh my gracious, what now?" I learned this the hard way [smiling]! Happy reading and writing.
