Suit to Saddle

A Positive Impact on Others

An 84-year-old woman approached the front of the auditorium at the All Seasons in Ann Arbor last week. Her steps were noticeably shaky, as she made progress using her Rollator to reach me. She steadied herself and in a soft, wavering voice, said, “I enjoyed your talk.” The one-time avid cyclist, with over 25,000-miles on the saddle as a member of her cycling club, appeared content and energized to tackle the rest of her day. A few days later, after my talk to the Central Jersey Cycling Club members, I received a thank you note. "...Thank you so much for sharing your stories with the club. I am about one-third of the way through your book, and I am amazed at the details you include. You certainly seem to have the knack to be a great writer. Don't give it up. And best of luck with your second book about to come out. I'll be watching for it. I know there is an introduction at the end of Suit to Saddle..." These warm-hearted encounters, and unforeseen hat-tips reinforce the wise decision I made to share my story with others.
