Dear Delenee, October 4, 2009
I had to write to you after anxiously awaiting your book, getting it and reading it in a few short hours. Your e-mail came at such a time when I really needed some kind of a message…just like that! I love how life can work like that sometimes! I was married before and met my now fiancé (named Glenn J) shortly after my marriage ended. At that time I never wanted to get married again but 3 years later we were engaged while on a romantic trip to California wine country, staying at an amazing bed and breakfast. We have now been engaged 2 years and he is getting a little anxious to make wedding plans, understandably. I have been honestly, afraid, even though I know I want to be with him, I am afraid of “marriage” messing up the good thing we have. We have been having so much conversation of connection, commitment, life goals, wedding plans, etc., etc. Honestly, after reading your book I feel so much more confident and ready to dive into our marriage with an open mind and heart and a lot of determination.
It is so weird because he is a chef and one of our dreams is to someday own our own bakery/café (I love to bake) and one of my dreams is to write a book. It is so inspiring to know you two are doing, or have done exactly that, even while having hard times and raising your children.
Making dinner together has always been a big thing for us. Our conversations in the morning often start with “what are we having for dinner tonight?” It has always been our special time of connecting. We have recently decided I will make him dinner all by myself 1 night a week (he always cooks with me as his helper usually talking his ear off J) to give him a break. Thank you for the book, I will so be using it and recommending it to all of my friends. Looking forward to my marriage, café, and the book I someday write along side my own Glenn.
Lotsa Love,
Leah
