This is a special story for me because it is the story of my own very special Tiger. Embracing the differences that we share can give us a new understanding of the global human community that we all share. There are many combinations of relationships each with their own special ingredient that can make life interesting. Savoring our differences allows us to create a life that is full of rich and deep flavors. Understanding our differences allows us to connect to the humanity of others and to honor each individual's contribution for our human collective responsibility to and for each other. It is my hope that this book will start a constructive discussion of difference. What does difference mean to each person? How have their lives been impacted by their own special journey? It is my belief, the more we understand others that it helps us grow and become ambassadors for a kind and gentle spirit in our humanity. Katherine Moore
