When I talk of my break from writing, the first thing people ask is, “for how long?” Right now, I don’t have an answer and I’m OK with that.
I’m at the same point now as I was just before I quit my corporate job when I knew I had come to the end of something and needed to start on an entirely new path. Just like back then, I don’t know what I’m moving towards, I just know it’s different.

Taking a much needed hiatus from updating. The pressure to talk about writing all the time has taken it’s toll and left me struggling to write about other topics. I’ve spent the beginning October releasing things that overwhelm me, and this is the last.

A few notes about this blog: I don't accept ads or paid endorsements. I only mention people, places, or things that I actually believe in or have great experience with. And I don't accept comments but I do read every non-anonymous email and I write back if I can. I have these 'rules' in place because I believe in sharing information, supporting a community, and being trusted with your time and judgement.

Below are a few book pic's that I've found useful. You can see my entire list on Amazon. Note: if you purchase a book I've recommended on Amazon, there is a very small kick back to me and the money is donated to the amazing charity, Women for Women. But I've only recommended books I've actually read and do love. I don't believe in recommending things otherwise.
