It will move and amaze everyone who reads it.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
First, my apologies for keeping this lovely book so long on my shelf.
But since I did, today it’s going to get a most appropriate release, as I go up to Huntsman for an appointment. In 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was early stage, so, after a mastectomy, I was put on hormone blockers, and so far so good. But the hormone blockers~ holy cow! Think menopause on steroids, then squared!!!
