I thought I should give an update on my current book.  I have been doing more living than writing over the past half year, so I haven't made great progress.  I should have the first draft completed by early 2012.  It will take a couple of months to clean it up, so the book should be completed by early summer.
While waiting, be sure to get out in the world and do your own living and loving.  Remember, your soul, your heart, and your body can't grow and strengthen unless you challenge them.  This holiday season my fervent prayer is you live generously, give generously, and love generously. 
God bless and Merry Christmas!
