There is a second book in which she tells additional stories and I add my two cents! It's called "A Cat's Legacy: Dulcy's Story."

Dulcy...Dear Amy, thanks so much for stopping by. Dulcy's book changed my life and it has touched the lives of many others. She has been a great gift to me from the Holy Oneness of All Creation.<br /><br />I suspect all of us spend some time dwelling on the mistakes of the past. Letting them go is a great gift to ourselves. When we do that, we begin loving ourselves. I've found that being as gracious to myself as I am to others helps me feel gratitude for my life.

It sounds wonderful. <br /><br />I have done my fair share of dwelling in the past, mainly for all the mistakes I made and for what I lost because of those mistakes. I'm not sure I will ever truly stop dwelling on those things, but I have tried to make up for lost time and be a better version of myself. <br /><br />I am glad I found your blog. I look forward to the rest of your story.
