My deadline is Wednesday.  Well, technically Thursday, but I have to mail the thing on Wednesday, therefore…well, you get the idea.  This book has been a hard one to write.  My daughter says I say that about every book I write.

*Your Mileage May Vary
I love this statement I’ve been seeing around different forums. I’ve decided to incorporate it into my daily life. Imagine how this simple philosophy can help me out. For example, I love (really seriously love) this new Kona coffee I bought recently but my husband prefers another [...]
