Cookie’s contradictions make her the fabulous person that she is and we love her! Alice Walker explains “Be nobody’s darling; be an outcast. Take the contradictions of your life and wrap around you like a shawl, to parry stones to keep you warm.”
“A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions – so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.” Keep up the great work Cookie, we’ll never forget how much better you make us!
