To all of my loyal readers, please know that  have not abandoned you.  It has been almost two months since my last post and while I apologize for my abrupt departure, it was with good intention.  I had originally planned to pen my memoir in paperback, but I decided that a blog would be the best way to start.  After blogging for many months, I decided that I needed to be writing the full-length version in the form of a work to be published.  We are now in 2009 and I feel that everything has happened to re-focus my attention on this effort.  With that being said, I am working on my book and hope to share details about it as I progress.  Please feel free to email me and share any thoughts or comments you may have.  I'll be looking for some of you to critique my literary efforts as I value your opinions and insight.  I am, however, still maintaining my sister blog, www.independentcitygirl.com  This is the other half of my life and makes for some interesting reading and funny things that happen along the way.  IT'S ALL TRUE!!!

Thank you for your continued support!  Remember, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.  Live the life you've imagined."
