As I sit in front of my Mac, I am looking at 62 ?sticky notes?. Some are pasted on my computer. Others are attached to the wall in front of me, and the top of my desk is covered. I go into a panic when I am running low on these little devils. I like […]

A Week of Firsts

September 28, 2010

Last week was a very busy time for me. In the middle of sending out press releases, working on keying in ?The Color Of My Heart? and playing with my granddaughter, Emma, I had my first live radio interview. I was so nervous. I didn?t have a clue what the announcer, Joel Hooper at WIFM […]
