Publisher's Synopsis
From the Author: What the hell, I woke up this morning and drank too much caffeine, and said; I'll do a photo essay of Samantha. What the fuck I had nothing else to do. I'm home from work for two weeks and felt creative, so I just came up with this idea of Samantha: Daily Life in Pictures. I don't know what possessed me to do this work, but it's completed. I think maybe, I wanted to show how pretty she is, I wanted to practice my taking of pictures, and share what's going on in Samantha's and my life. She is my 'Starting Over" cat, and so far, it's been pretty cool. She sleeps at night, which is a blessing so far for me, unlike Pepper, who never let me sleep. It feels good to have another living being in my home. I feel it adds life, and takes me out of myself to care for a living entity, comb her hair, clip her nails, making sure her water is fresh and food is in the plate, play with her and show her love. It's important for me to work on commitment and connecting with the feelings of love. I can take care of Samantha, but I also want to learn how to love her also, loving is hard for me to do and also to sustain loving feelings is even harder. So this is a journey for the both of us, and there are lessons to be learned. Pepper was not a failure, as the email read" If you must start over then look at this." And a friend said "she was the wrong cat for you, try again with a kitten." So here I am, calmer, rested and 'Starting Over."
