Every fall I seem to sort of "wake up" from my hot, sweaty Houston slumber. The kids head back to school and I get my routine back. Fall has always been my most active "self recovery" mode!

I love homework
I love when I am preparing for a talk that I am going to give. Every time I book a date to speak to a group, I have an excitement that arises deep in my heart.
