I’m sure some of you thought when I said I’d be posting a heartwarming series starting “tomorrow,” that I actually would be posting the start of the series within the next 24 hours.

New Hair and First Radio Interview!
About a month ago, Darren mentioned that with my delicate frame and exquisite features–I might be rewording a bit ;)–a short hair do might look cute. I filed that away, revisiting it with each tangle I ripped from my scalp in the following days. Then my friend Tj’s daughter cut her beautiful long hair and […]

Best Books of 2009?

One of the winners of my 61-day blog tour 20-book giveaway […]
Hitting the Links
