by Violet Carr Moore
Foreword
It is not often you meet someone who can spin beautiful tapestry with words; someone who captures your attention in the first sentence. I discovered this treasure in a simple e-mail from Violet Moore. When we first met, I read with amazement a small paragraph outlining daily routine with such talent the words came alive. I quickly replied to acquire another sample of perfection from a gifted writer.
Being with Vi, the mundane turns magical through her energetic imagination. She cheerfully chatters one story after another with that little twinkle in her eye, that says, even then she is thinking of another story that will bring a smile to her listeners. Every experience becomes an adventure, every encounter an exciting story and every dream an enchanting tale. She has the talent of seeing the unseen in situations. She notices the fringe in life that others miss. Then with her keen sense of observation, she writes. She has a way of keeping your attention until the last word bows and exits the page, which I might add, many times is not the way you thought it would end. She spins the ordinary into extraordinary, the average into amazing, and in the end, the expected transforms into the unexpected.
I believe you will enjoy her unique ability to capture the heart of fond memories on paper as you read her stories. You will cry with her, laugh with her and at times be able to picture her very soul in her words. I hope you enjoy her writings as much as I have and you learn to treasure her gems of hope as she shares her heart with you.

—The bible is the world’s most wonderful book. Its writers hammered out life’s experiences on the anvils of their souls and then by the anointing of the Holy Ghost recorded them to bless all mankind. In her book, Violet shares her life to make ours richer and more delightful. Thank you, Violet.
