Lisa thanks Arlene, Arlene, Arlene, and Arlene, the Wonder Woman of the Tarot, without whom this book would not be possible. Fast, witty, clever, anddespite Temperance's projectionspatient, she made this book a joy and a breeze. Thanks, too, to Bob, Joanie, Kait, and Maile, for being the patient subjects of a beginner's attempts at readings, and, as always, to the dogs and cats, for keeping the cold feet warm. |

Arlene wishes to thank Lisa for being fast, quick, sharp, humorous, and keeping me to task. Lisa has been a great inspiration when I needed the knowledge and skills of a real writer pro. Our voice became one in this book. Also, I'd like to thank one of my greatest mentors, Dorothy B. Hughes (who passed on in 1987), a famous astrologer and metaphysical teacher. She called me, and I quote, ugly accurate when it came to my Tarot reading skill. I thank her for her deep belief in me. And to my friends, students, and family, who understood they could not get ahold of me any time they wanted because I was on-line writing with Lisa, a big thank you for being patient! And last but not least, thanks to Daniel Bernstein and Brad Reppen for training and educating me about the computer world and cyberspace! |
