I learn something new every single time I put a book together. You'd think I'd reach a point where the process is routine, but so far there's always some little detail that's just waiting to surprise me. As I've said before, I try to share each time I learn something because without others sharing their knowledge,… Continue reading The Finer Details
Some beliefs sneak into our heads without us even being aware of them. It's a strange phenomenon. Then, down the road, we run headlong into those beliefs like they're the shadowy guy hiding in the alleyways of our minds. It's only when we see him in full daylight that we realize how truly ugly he… Continue reading Sneaky Beliefs
Hello Dear Readers! I have been away longer than I intended. As always, I appreciate how understanding and supportive every single one of you are. Let me share why I’ve been absent for January.

Now I can say the flip side of the proverb is… Continue reading Savoring the Moment
As The Adventure's launch date arrives this weeks, my well laid plans screech into the finish line with the back end swerving out of control. As the saying goes, "We plan, God laughs."
