You may not always be able to juggle Life and writing at the same time. But at some point, if writing is what you really want to do, you’ll ultimately find the time for both."<BR/><BR/>Here's to finding time, Michelle!

Otherwise, what would we have to write about? :-)Carolyn Kaufman | @CMKaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715666518147779502noreply@blogger.com
