“I am so glad that I live in a world where there are Octobers.” Anne of Green Gables, L. M. Montgomery

Celebrating the Season: I am a BIG FAN of this month…the cooler evenings, the cozy time, soup, CANDY, scented candles. This is also the month I celebrate my anniversary and have an annual girls’ trip with some of my long-time besties. I hope you’re enjoying some October bliss too.

Book Updates: Last month I talked about the process of letting my book “go” to the editing staff at Rowman & Littlefield. This was some serious foreshadowing for more changes to come. A development that I did not predict: the name of my book has been changed.

Helpful Links: Coach Kara Lawson gives us a pep talk on handling hard better. We do it every day, and her reframe of hard stuff is inspiring.
