When I wrote The Pharaoh’s Daughter, my first book set in Egypt, I thought there was a pyramid around every corner. Not so! Something similar happens with folks all around the world. The first landmark I think of when I imagine Paris is the Eiffel Tower, but France is filled with so much more than that single landmark! If you live …
What kind of different are we talking about today? In one of my favorite movies, the little boy, Forrest Gump, is forced to undergo some standardized testing before he enters school. The principal explains his less-than-favorable results to Forrest’s mother in the clip above by saying the famous words: “Your boy’s different, Mizzz Gump.” Is being different a bad thing or …

If, however, he wanted them truly PRUNED, put those clippers in my hands! Unfortunately, I’m not as brutal about pruning my commitments. Somehow, through the years, …
