		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been six years since I self-published my first book Simply&#8230;Woman! and what a ride it&#8217;s been.

What is it that causes some of us to stay on that dreaded treadmill of life—wishing, hoping, and praying that something will suddenly get better? Are we suckers for punishment? Do we enjoy running ourselves ragged? [...]]]></description>

I am “who I am” – regardless of fame, fortune or status; I am “who I am” – [...]]]></description>
