You gotta stay strong and keep the faith links..

I woke up today feeling pretty down. We all have those days, right? I did my usual, prepared my breakfast and ate while listening to The Steve Harvey Radio Show. Tommy's mother called into the show and stole the spotlight from the hosts (she was hilarious!) and this prompted a smile from me.

I turned on the television just to find out what was going on in the world and was soooo moved by the heartbreaking news that the mother of Canadian figure skater, Joannie Rochette's mother suddenly passed away from a heart attack on Sunday...and even with all that grief, Joannie hit the ice and performed beautifully. She did it for herself, her fans, her country but mostly for her mother.....

I felt ridiculous! Me and my little problems....

So I picked myself, brushed away my tears, sat down at the computer, checked FB, tweeted-good morning to my tweet-hearts, checked my emails and was pleased to find a note from a blogger/reviewer with a link to her review of SUGAR.....and just like that, my spirits were lifted another five notches!

Ten years after hitting the BOOK SCENE, people are still discovering the MAGIC that is SUGAR and are helping to spread the word by spreading the Love!
