And USE your library card!

In elementary school, my teacher told my mother I was “unteachable.” I was behind in every subject, including reading. Then I found this one book in the school library and connected with it, reading it hundreds of times. I made a career in reading, writing, and editing.That’s what a book can do.

If I could only learn how to talk to myself they way I talk to my cat …

Me to my cat: Good morning beautiful.
