This has been an extremely diverse and interesting year. We’ve all had ups and downs, but objectively I think that we’ve learned something from our experiences. Remember, there is always something to be learned from something unpleasant, and oftentimes, something really wonderful comes from it.

Someone reminded me earlier this year, as corny as it sounds, is that the glass is always half full, not empty. Keep that in mind when you become embroiled in debates and disagreements. If you listen carefully, we all have good points to bring to the table even if we disagree.

I cherish all of you and the opportunity that has come from writing my books. I could not do what I do without you. Thank you all for being a part of my year. I have some surprises and new books scheduled for next year.

Thank you to my family, friends, and fans for making this year outstanding.

Merry Christmas!
