In the depths of winter a book is born
It’s here! It’s finally here! Like a giddy schoolgirl receiving her first 6th grade dance invitation, so too am I doing the happy dance in my office tonight.
After four long years of plodding, plotting, stopping, starting, regrouping, and lots of revising, the book has finally come to light.
Second Hand Roses: The Junktiquing Road documents my journeys into the world of second hand and the life lessons gleaned along the way.
SECOND HAND ROSES BUY HERE!
- Publication Date:
- Feb 05 2010

MY BOOK ON AMAZON?!!!!
Just goes to show that dreams sometimes DO come true. Feel free to buy a bazillion copies, send them my way, and I’ll be happy to autograph them for you (did I say that?).
We’re all on this junktiquing journey together. Some have just been travelling this road a little longer than others but we all have stories to share and cool stuff to compare.
Come along with me, won’t you?
And thanks for the support!

Remember how we all felt after we saw the towers fall? After Katrina? Feel that love for your fellow man now and contribute. Even $5, the cost of a footlong sub at a famous restaurant, will go farther than you could imagine

Thank you and remember what Dr King said not too long ago:
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

Let’s Party like it’s….. ‘09?
January 1, 2010Well, here we are once again. A new year with new promises of hoped-for prosperity, peace, abundance, and whatever else positive charms we can sprinkle onto our party hats.
But this year, like its predecessor, the infamous “Y2k” ten years ago, I am once again faced with a dilemma.
Is it really the start of a new decade [...]
