1. Crit Partners who whip you into shape and yet, say things that boost your self esteem all at once.

2. An agent who believes in me and works hard on my behalf.

3. A husband who is truly my best friend and biggest supporter.

5. My kids, who are monsters but wonderful monsters who tussle over who gets to snuggle with momma in the mornings.

6. My friends, who have proven themselves over and over by being there for me in good times and bad.

7. Continued creativity – New book ideas coming to me, I still love beading and cooking and creating with my kids.

8. The ability to enjoy the small things like the way water beads on the leaves of the bushes in my yard and looking at spiderwebs with my kids.

9. Loving my life. I’m so blessed, I really am. I love my family and my house and this dream I’m living.

10. The best readers any author could ask for. Seriously. I’m terribly spoiled and so fortunate to have so many wonderful readers!

12. Thai food. I love thai food. I want to get thai food very soon because I haven’t had any in weeks.

13. The weather calming down here! After flooding, freak snowstorms, more heavy rains and hurricane force gusts that sent a million people into the land of no power – I’m quite happy to say today, while it started rainy, has calmed and it’s even a bit sunny now.
