“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be […] “I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.” Oprah Winfrey I’ve never been a shoe-girl.

Last night, I […] “Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.” James Dean

I rarely remember my dreams, […] The lovely Robin Rivers of Our Big Earth reviewed my book today. If you’d like to read her comments, please pop over to her site by clicking on the ‘family’ widget on the right sidebar. (There’s also an opportunity to win a free book!) I’ll write more about the book launch on Monday! |
