First let me say that writing a book has never been a dream of mine like it is for so many people. So it's not like I was looking for something to fulfill that dream most have. But with the encouragement of so many who loved my "Reagan stories" I decided to start keeping a journal on, yes, my personal experiences.

“But in a home where grief is fresh and patience has long worn thin, making it through another day is often heroic in itself.”
Melanie Bennett, Learning to Dance in the Rain

“I like my sex scenes hidden between the pages of a great story, to be found like a treasure of value. Savoured and enjoyed like a delightful desert, leaving you wanting for more, not treated like a monotonous routine. I want my book guy to have as much inner depth, as his ability to go deep, lol.”
Melanie Bennett

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“But in a home where grief is fresh and patience has long worn thin, making it through another day is often heroic in itself.”
Melanie Bennett, Learning to Dance in the Rain

“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss

“There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.”
Jill Churchill

“Calm. Haste makes waste. Life is not an emergency. Life is brief and it is fleeting but it is not an emergency.”
Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are
