      Where would we be without our Wow! days? We need those special occasions and events that remind us of our significance (birthdays), our love (weddings and anniversaries), and our commitment and dedication to service (retirements, tributes, honors, and awards).

      Where would the world be without the Wow! people? The people who believed when others doubted? The people who hung in there when others quit? The people who said, I know I can when others said, I’m not even going to try.

      This book is about celebrating the Wow! moments and the Wow! people in our lives. It’s about joy, validation, romance, remembering, saluting, honoring, congratulating, thanking, and giving well-earned credit where credit is due. Wow!
