Gratitude
I am grateful for…
- A beautiful family that loves and supports me and each other, including a husband who is a superb Dad – and cook! – thereby allowing me to spend so much of my time doing what I love.
- The good health that makes it possible to live fully and maintain such a lively schedule of activities, both professional and personal.
- Work that is stimulating, challenging, satisfying and contributive – and that stretches me in new ways all the time.
- The opportunity to work from home, so as to be where I love to be, doing what I love to do, surrounded by those I love most.
- My home itself, which, though not always as organized as I might wish, is a vibrant reflection of our family’s joy-filled, creative life.
- Living in a village that is beautiful, historic, rural, sophisticated, eccentric, culturally rich and community-minded – with proximity to the ocean, access to all four seasons, and populated by an endless stream of fascinating characters.
- The ability to see creative ideas everywhere, and to mostly maintain a perspective of opportunity rather than problem or even crisis.
- The families who read and enjoy our books, and that express that enjoyment to us either directly or by buying more books.
- The technology that makes my work faster, easier, more enjoyable and more productive.
- Good friends who bring warmth, laughter and insight into our lives and days.
