I’m hoping the proof copy says the same. Having the first book to use as guide made the process of creating this second one much [...]

Without a doubt, I’ve been a highly blessed and favored woman wallowing in the joys of sweet, sweet happiness throughout 2010. It is as if the universe positioned all the key ingredients for an awesome year right in the palm of my hand. Before I take my annual stroll down the year that was, I [...]

One thing I don’t do nearly enough is return to destinations I’ve previously visited. Coming back to Ethiopia was well worth the second time around.

I’m such a tourist. Wouldn’t you be too? Photo: I.
