And just like that - in the snap of your fingers, it is a new year! One of the most wonderful things about a new year is that sense of a new beginning - a chance to set some things right, to start over again, and to be the best person you can be. It is a chance to start life with a new and sharper focus; to reflect on what was good last year, what was bad, what to throw away, and what to keep. Cleaning up is not limited to one's abode, it is also to clean up the mind and outlook for maximum efficiency and happiness.
Happy New Year, Friends!
"Cheers to a new year and another chance to get it right!" Oprah Winfrey

I LOVE writing. And I love writing children's books- my newest passion. Although it will be a ton of work, I am looking forward to selling my books. Since I was a secondary teacher, I know that I have much to learn about elementary students, and I will have to follow my own advice and be my genuine self. However, I also know that I am passionate about helping kids who have to wear glasses, and that GRADY GETS GLASSES sends a positive message. I am willing to work hard and do all the things that also made me a successful teacher for 37
years. I remain inspired!
