Monday blogs are temporarily off the chess board

Exciting news! I’m writing a new book in 2021!

A friend once gave me a chess piece with the reminder that only so many pieces fit on the board. Every time we add a project to our lives, we have to be willing to put something else aside for a bit.

I apologize if you were looking for the Monday morning blog. That chess piece that is being temporarily put on hold while I focus my efforts on the new book.

I hope you’ll still find time to listen to new Kindness Podcasts every Thursday and read the latest Kindness is Contagious column each Friday. See you real soon!
