I’m grateful for the persistence and assist of household, associates, and my many author buddies—new and not-so-new. From them, I’ve discovered easy methods to be a greater listener.
I’m over the moon that readers have generously allowed me to share the lives of my characters with them, the clever and the wacky.
I’m grateful for the assistance given by my editor, the late Jean Jenkins, who wished a lot to be part of “The Hobo Code.” She made me a stronger author. Might she dance with the angels and never critique them overly exhausting

2020 has been a troublesome yr for everyone: dad and mom, children, singles, marrieds, enterprise homeowners and employees. I do not know anybody who has remained unscathed. Hardest of all, creatives are inclined to tackle these fears and feelings swirling within the air, which makes it exhausting to create.
Right this moment I am grateful to Danny Iny and the Mirasee crew for giving me a chunk of recommendation that saved my sanity for the remainder of the yr. On the LIFT Convention in August, Danny stopped me chilly with these phrases:
“Gratitude lives in the identical a part of the mind as concern. You possibly can’t really feel each on the similar time.” (How fascinating is that? Here is an article on the neuroscience of gratitude.)
That convention and his Course Enterprise Masterclass have opened my thoughts to new concepts, and my life to new individuals and alternatives. Three days final summer time pulled me out of my pandemic doldrums and have sustained me for the remainder of this loopy yr.
