I just received an amazing post card today from Joan Didion!!
I sent her a copy of Loving Richie care of her publisher in NYC
with a letter thanking her for her work..Salvador and Slouching Towards Bethlehem
and of course, her last book about the death of her husband and daughter,
The Year of Magical Thinking. She wrote a beautiful note. The return address has
is an inked stamp and has her name and her husband's name in around the edges
of this oval with their New York City
address in the middle.
It touched me so very much, her words, her address; all of us linked by the common threads of loss and love.
Wow! Joan Didion read my book! It is sitting in her home on a bookshelf.
Wow!

Oh Happy Day!!!
Oh Happy Day....Obama!! O Happy Happy Day!!
O America I do love you so.
To wake up and know that in 10 weeks the evil empire will no longer be sitting
in its web and plotting the demise and destruction of the world.
To feel an enormous sense of pride in being an American-after 8 years of living under the yoke
of this heartless, cruel, unconscious, fascistic regime.
To know that all the people around the world, alongside us, feel a sense of the United States returning to her roots of freedom, dignity and democracy for all.
What a weight has been lifted off our shoulders.
I sing of thee America...I sing of thee(loosely quoting Walt Whitman).

Loving Richie
dear ones,
thank you beyond thanks for your support of my book, Loving Richie:the true story of hearts connected beyond death (http://amazon.com/).
It is quite astounding seeing my book in print, at long last. The week the author's proof arrived I kept it with me everywhere I travelled; to the car, in my car, to the supermarket, to my bed, to my kitchen, I mean everywhere!
Of course living with a book is odd, so eventually I put it on a bookshelf...my very own book on a bookshelf! Visions of this beloved book on shelves all across the world popped in my head..
books in airports, libraries, independent bookstores, at Barnes and Noble and Borders too, in waiting rooms in hospitals, hospices; books in classes on: grief & loss, AIDS, crossing over to the other side, brother-sister relationships, sibling loss, coping with growing up bisexual and gay;
My book-touching the world, opening hearts, bringing comfort to the bereaved, hope to those in anguish over their lost loved ones.
Ahh---Richie is dancing with my mom in spirit..celebrating with me...with you.
May peace fill your hearts,
Suzanne Suprabha

O how i am learning to get up in the morning!
Good morning to the entire world...I have to say I have never, in my wildest imaginings of being a writer, imagined one day my words would be posted for the entire world to see!!
Or not.
I am sitting in a tiny cafe in Italy, drinking my cafe au lait, smoking my cigarette-oops, not really, it's all in my mind.
So for now I bid you all ciao, adieu, see you later alligator; going to drink my tea at my dining room table, think about Italy and the light over the piazza, or was it the light over my pizza?
Enjoy your life today. Be in the moment-since it's all we have, I will try to do the same...
