say what?

On Wednesday, March 3rd, I was invited to present my book to the North Shore Writers group.

What a fabulous and diverse assembly of people; poets and biographers, fiction and non-fiction, children's authors and more. It is a rare breed of person that comes foward, clutching their sheets of paper, some typed, some handwritten, and has the courage to share their words with essential strangers. It takes guts. And writing is not for the faint-hearted, to be sure!

Halfway through the evening we broke for coffee and I was presented with this cake. At first I didn't even notice the error, however, upon further inspection and a double take ... I read what the bakery wrote: It Can Happened to You. How perfect! Indeed it "Happened to Me!" I think it is fitting that these words graced a cake in honour of my book where Penny Stevens never was and never will be perfect! Perfection is over-rated. It's the cracks in things that let the light in... I'm stealing from Rumi or somebody, but the sentiment is true.

Thanks fellow writers!
