  • hello my friend. sounds to me like you´re doing just fine, thank you! so what kind of books do you write? i´m working on my first one and according to my agent, while i was isolated in the jungle for the past eight days, i guess i got my first offer! a bit daunting really, but it´s all part of the adventure. the dream doesn´t have to be a dream. i´m learning that we can do almost anything if we´ve got the nerve!

    happy trails to a fellow traveler.
    peace,
    suzan (global gypsygirl)
