During a book signing event last night I was approached by a reader who returned to tell me that she read through my book twice and found it to be very helpful.  She keeps it as a reference tool and picks it up often.  The book stimulated a conversation with a friend of hers.  This friend came to the signing to pick up her own copy. 

In addition, a  psychotherapist approached me at the signing and purchased a copy to share with her patients.

This is what it is all about for me; this is why I put my experiences into words and on paper.  If my writing can benefit someone else--if I can reach out and touch just one life, then it is more than worth the effort.
