Dear Reader,
"There's a crack in everything and that's how the light gets in."
--Leonard Cohen
I keep that quote handy in my mailbox. It gives me a sense of contentment and always makes me smile. And I feel proud of myself every time I read it. Proud--because I'm a little bit strange and I run with it.
There are a lot of little wacky, off-balance things in my personality, and sometimes I consider chasing them away. I get concerned that someone else might think they're a little too strange. But then Leonard Cohen's words remind me that, even though some people might consider them "cracks" in my personality, the cracks are how the light gets in. And in my case, that light makes me creative, and (I think) a pretty interesting person.
So, if you think you're different--if you worry about whether there are too many "cracks" in your behavior--don't change. That's how the "good stuff" gets in.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

P.S. You could WIN a book..."Tell me a story," is still one of best reasons to write a book. And author Walt Larimore, M.D., told me one mighty fine story last week when I read his book, "Bryson City Tales."
It's a true story about the first year of his medical practice in the Smoky Mountains. What could happen in a small town of 8,000 people, you might think? Well, a murder for one thing. And the new doctor had only been in town for thirty days.
I have 15 copies of his book to give away. Read the sample, send me an email, tell me what you think--and you're automatically entered in the drawing. I'll pass your comments on to the author, too.
