“Thousands of stars could tell thousands of stories. Now, I will be one of them, as I will be one with them.”
Now this phrase has become truth as my little winged lady character, Gracie, or by her full name, Grace Sessa Aredia has taken the first steps to be part of human history. Literally! While most literary / novel characters are usually trying to conquer Earth; and I hope she will do the same the day her story is released (11-11-11), as you can read in Grace’s introduction at Angeni’s Corner (http://www.angeniscorner.crystalshadeangeni.com), reaching the silent sea, space was her dream. Now with the help of NASA, her dream has come true and my winged lady has already gone where no fantasy angel character has ever gone before… into space. She is to orbit around our little blue planet aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour (STS-134) on her final historic flight in her proud and long history.

So tonight, when you look up to the stars, you can be sure that a guardian angel is watching over you from space, just as she is watching over the brave astronauts and Endeavour herself. This wonderful and historic flight will travel millions of miles in the 16 day long exciting and important space mission where the Endeavour and her crew will finish the International Space Station; the station that Endeavour began to build more than ten years ago, back in 1998. As soon as they all land safely in the beginning of June, my little daydreaming space angel, or “Space Grace” as I like to call her, is going to receive her first official NASA certificate confirming this personal achievement, signed by the mission commander Mark Kelly.
