• I met the exotic & beautiful Clara Hines when I transferred from working customer service in Oakland to working in air freight in San Francisco for United airlines. I learned so much from her. She always made me feel that I could anything (and so could she). Meals she prepared at her apartment rivaled eating at a 5 star restaurant. She made me cook omelets for 5 days, every morning until I could make them the Julia Child way. When she discovered I had a dog sitting business, she decided to try walking her favorite dog even tho she was using a walker. She was fearless and just did incredible things and didn’t take criticism as a deterrent for doing anything she got in her mind to try. She’s responsible for my favorite mantra: there are no accidents in the universe. All my friends say that now too.

Clara, I miss you so much but, I’m certain we’ll meet again.
