The core of this illuminating memoir consists of threads of consistency and learning that have emerged through Carol's life experiences. We learn, as she and her sister Linda did, of the constructive optimism of their parents and how that mindset underlies successfully facing life's struggles. Mistakes can be overcome. The burdens lift. Life is meant for living.


With well-balanced sensitivity and striking honesty, she frankly reveals the false starts in her career and her love life and how things worked out in the end. We gain perspective, as she did, through spirited tales of her life experiences.


Heart-wrenching events mix with moments of light, hope, and relief. Even the death of loved ones, people, and dogs doesn't have to be a downward pull, as Carol learned from her dad.


Carol has found that angels have an impact on our experiences, too. Although she has never seen an angel, her dogs saw several one evening.


Her experiences in finally finding and settling into her career, her love life, and several events that didn't seem significant, and some that did, all seem to fit together to form those surfacing life threads.

Dismore, Carol: -

Although Carol Dismore holds a Master of Science degree in mathematics from Montana State University, she changed her vocation early on and worked a 36-year career as a certified public accountant. Since retiring, she keeps her hand in the game by doing the accounting for her church and for a few people she knows, just as a volunteer.


Carol also enjoys writing. Poetry is her medium of choice, and many of her poems have appeared in various periodicals. Being a stickler for precision, she favors rhythm and rhyme. Using the rhythm to enhance the poem's subject matter, she has written rollicking sagas of her own and her father's adventures, heartfelt tales from her own experience and from her mother's childhood, and, more recently, what she calls 'downloads from God', poems that come to her in the middle of the night, unbidden.


Although they don't have any dogs of their own now, Carol and her husband, Barry, dog-sit for a young beagle. They get their dog-fix that way.
