I admit. I woke up with a big head this morning and it was not all hair. Please excuse the narcissism and I promise to resume poking fun at myself. Before I do, I just want to thank all of my friends, family, and loved ones who showered me with support yesterday and made the day a great success. I want to give a special thank you to my dear husband, who allowed me to steal his birthday thunder and acted as my personal cheerleader. If you are one of my dear readers who downloaded my book for free, know that it is my honor to have you read my book. If I were to ask, “Mirror, Mirror on the wall…who is the most grateful of them all?” the answer is me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
