Sometimes, a long break is needed in life before you pick things up again. So it was with this blog. In the last several years, I have become a partner in another business, seen my business continue to grow, become a regular writer for a variety of news papers (all local and small, but maybe moving to the idea of a syndicated column), deepened my commitment and relationship with my husband and generally lived what lots of people call "a dream." As far as I am concerned, I have been in a peak of my life. While I know their are peaks and valleys throughout our life, I am definitely enjoying the peak. What has been new with you?
