What a great week this has been! First my book came out and yesterday, I learned the secret to percolating coffee. I find myself humbled by both events! It is kind of funny how both things go together; Both of them took over twenty-five years to come to be.
I have been gathering life experiences, remembering funny things and even some tragic events to write my book. It is about me, but it is a book that will touch anyone. I step outside of myself and tell the stories through another’s eyes. I laugh at myself and invite the reader to laugh along with me. I tear up a little and allow a time for reflection and peace to sweep over my audience. I end on a happy note, because in spite of all the rough things, the bumps and bruises on body and soul, the ride this far has been an awesome one!
My coffee has been a big part of my life too. I have drank it cold…not on purpose. I don’t like iced coffee, but I do like the stimulating liquid. I like it hot and black. I thought the way it was made, was to boil it on the stove for half an hour or so. However, I found that there is really some finesse to the method.
Chances are, I will still boil my coffee now and then, because I will get preoccupied and forget it on the stove. It is surly a fact that life will throw me a few curves yet as I stumble down the road to old age and beyond. So, I will take my coffee black and life any way that I can get it 😮

I’d like to buy one of your books. Will the weekend after Thanksgiving be a good time to pick one up?
