My book, Lost with Translation, will be out from Discover 21 Publications, in January. Enjoy this little sneak-peek! I guess the adults who attend this place must be terrible. They whine and cry and don’t act their age at all. Isn’t that what “infantile” means? I’m pretty sure of it,…

This week my accountability partner and I have had a few discussions about the ways we write. I don’t mean writing how-to’s as much as environmental how-to’s. For example, I write in the mornings. I love having a mug of coffee next to me as the sun is just peeking…

It’s been a tough week. A long week. And it’s only Thursday. I won’t bore you with the details, but I had to call three different airlines yesterday to rearrange and/or cancel some flights. I can hear you groaning! Everyone these days groans at the thought of calling airlines. It…

Japan’s population is not Christian, so only a relatively small segment of the population celebrates Christmas. However, people exchange gifts at the end of the year. The gifts, called oseibo, are different than in the U.S. While we exchange jewelry and clothes and books, Japanese people often give consumables. Some…
