Gail was born on June 18th, 1937 in Birmingham Alabama. It seems Gail had an interesting life. She was raised in Asheville, North Carolina. When she grew up and went to college she went for Journalism. Later getting a job at the Miami Herald where she met her husband. She eventually got a divorce from her husband and was fired from the Miami Herald. After this she went to become a waitress, eventually returning to school at the University of Iowa getting her Master's and her PhD. Since then she has written many books where five have been awarded New York Times Bestsellers. She is still alive today.
Gail's quote is, "One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are." In my opinion I don't agree with this quote 100%. My reason is because she is saying to put high regards for the "few" people that care about you. I have done the same thing and there are some people I can and can't trust. It is a long story but a friend I had for 6 years had betrayed me now we have not been the same since. I put my trust in him and he really was my best bud for the whole time...until that incident. So I do agree but sometimes it is not always true, so you have to watch for the people that could possibly be shaky.
The word for this post is Homage: reverence or respect.
