Your heart has to let your head know what it wants.

Here's where the real power of generosity comes in. Often, the more we give, the more we receive.

First and foremost, I consider myself a storyteller. And I'm endlessly fascinated with people, with what they do and why... and how they feel about it. Which means I'm interested in romance fiction. I was drawn to it, as both a reader and a writer, at the very beginning of my career. It's my kind of storytelling.

I'm a yarnaholic. That means I have more yarn stashed away than any one person could possibly use in three or four lifetimes. There's something inspiring about yarn that makes me feel I could never have enough.

Cultivating the habit of good deeds will not only affect those around us, it will improve our own emotional well being.

We're each our own person, we live our own lives, make our own mistakes, learn from them and move forward.

While it may not be a simple act, offering forgiveness not only has the power to heal relationships, it strengthens the well-being of those who give this life-changing gift.
