Thoughts on the year...
Winter break has always been a time of relaxation for me. A chance to recharge and revive. This year it's also a time for me to look back on all the amazing events of the last year.- I began the National Board process. This can take up to three years, and is a very intense process.
- I planned a wedding. This has been an amazing journey. It has challenged me in ways I never would have imagined, but I have come out stronger for it.
- I continued to turn my condo into a home. Ray replaced all the lighting in the condo, creating a more warm and welcoming feel.
- I finished and polished my YA novel, and began work on another Contemporary novel. While the first begins to make the submission rounds, the second is about 1/4 the way done. This is my 7th or 8th manuscript (it's getting hard to keep track people).
- My writing support group morphed and grew, and I can now count some of the most amazing women, writers, and people as my friends. I love you all! (and yes, you know who you are).
As the year 2010 draws to its close, take a moment and think about all the blessings in YOUR life. It's so easy sometimes to glom on to the negative, but the positive has so much more power.

Wow! You were busy. I admire the fact that you managed to finish and polish a manuscript (and start shopping it around!) while working on everything else on your list. Let's not forget the fact that you teach full time.
How do you do it?
You HAVE had a great year! And I predict next year will be even better! Love you!
Kate - I don't know how I do it :) It's usually a miracle when I make it to the end of the year. It probably has something to do with a strong support system.
Shannon - From your mouth on up to the higher powers. Love you too!
