Reader Success - Using Good Bending For Shoveling Snow

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Jolie Bookspan, M.Ed, PhD, FAWM

About two feet of snow fell over the weekend in the Northeast US. I got a lovely Christmas card shortly after. I wrote back to thank the sender for remembering me.

KathyB replied,

"I not only remembered you, I've had you on my mind, as I so often do. I was thinking on Sunday, after I'd shoveled snow for 3 hours straight without hurting my back, and again yesterday when I did another half hour, that you gave me a gift that just keeps on giving, that I'll NEVER forget what you've done for me, and I thought how wonderful it must be to be able to do something like that for people.

"I wish you and Paul the very best always,

"Kathy"

Kathy - you make it all worthwhile.
Kathy writes well. In fact, she is a professional mystery writer. I will ask her to tell us about some of her exciting books in the future.
