What is your New Years’ Resolution for 2008?
I want to finally begin to take care of me!  Often, we women take care of everyone first and we come last.  I am now setting aside certain areas that are for me.  I plan to further refine my diet, exercise more and got to that occasional comedy show I want to see.

I plan to stop always putting what is best for me on the back burner, and concentrate more on my health and reaching a healthy, active 100!

Did you keep your Resolution(s) in 2007?
Yes, I did!

What’s the main reason you think people fail to meet their goals?
They make a resolution that is bigger than they can eventually cope with.  I make only one a year and concentrate on that one promise to myself.  I make the goal meaningful, but obtainable.

What do you look forward to in 2008 that didn’t seem possible in 2007?
My son’s continued success in school.  He is now in a superb school which is as nurturing and supportive as his home.  I see him completing his next book and the sales of his book which is coming out in the spring soaring.

What’s your best feature?
My hands, and if you saw them, you’d say “Huh?”  My hands are not pretty.  They’re very small, worn and are marred by Dupytren’s Disease.  But they are my best friends.  Not only do they type like the wind, but they allow me to cook, bake bread, pet my dog, hold a book, and so much more.  I love my hands.

What’s your favorite day of the week and why?
Saturday, hands down.  Laid back and calm, I get most of my relaxing done on Saturdays.  Neighbors come out and walk around the lake, things slow down and I’m able to really concentrate on some serious cooking.

What celebrity actress do you think you look like or have been told you resemble?
I always get Meryl Streep.  It’s not obvious in my photo, but there is a definite resemblance, not only in looks, but actions as well.

What business tip would you like to offer?
If you want to be a writer, write.  Write every day.  Don’t let any excuses stop you.  If you’re blocked, write anyway.  Write drivel if you have to because, like anything that’s stopped up, a continual flow will unclog your brain and allow creativity to flow!

Her story and Christopher's is one you will treasure and remember in your heart for a long time to come...One that will bring a tear and a smile.
