          If you have read any of my previous Weekend Book Reviews, then you know that I’m an avid reader. I love books and often, if not always, have multiple books open at once.

Last week, I wrote to you about fear. I mentioned a doctor’s scary diagnosis and an unknown journey.

I’m not one who is much for making New Year’s resolutions. It might be because I typically reflect back and think forward at a different time of year . . . August and September, when the school year begins. Maybe it is because “everyone else is doing it,” and I enjoy being a little different.… Continue reading Resolutions, Scales & Unread Chapters
