If I am able to sing again it will be through some miracle operation. There's a lot of work being done to help singers regain their voices, but in my case I actually lost vocal tissue so it's very hard for my chords to rub together and I need to replace that tissue. I remain optimistic but not tremendously so.

I am an optimistic lady.

I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.

Once upon a time, there was a Magic Kingdom made of hopes and childhood fantasies. A timeless place where every land was filled with wonder. A place where everyone who entered its gates would be given the gift of the young at heart.

The world is full of magical places, and the library has always been one of them for me. A library can be that special place for our children.

I am told that the first comprehensible word I uttered as a child was 'home.

Sometimes I'm so sweet even I can't stand it.
