Adam Pick Seriously Ruth? :) OMG. Actually... Double OMG... No triple OMG!!!

I am smiling ear-to-ear right now. Never in my life did I imagine my book would be read alongside a few whiskies. :)

But, seriously... In this moment, you have inspired me to no end. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. And, for being such a great supporter of this community. Love, Adam

Ruth Valenzuela You made me laugh now... I love whiskey but do take it in small doses. It does my heart good!

Ruth Valenzuela P.S. Adam, thank you for your book. It answers so many questions one may have.
