Coming Clean with Giant Steps

I recently re-edited my ebook to put it into print form (which is currently displayed wrong on Amazon — working on fixing that).  This left me with a hard copy full of editing notes that would either get tossed or sit on a bookshelf of get tucked away in a closet.  Instead, I chose to take a giant leap of faith into a zone of great discomfort and share the book with a friend. This is a close friend; someone I…

Reconstructive Surgery: WHEN and HOW?

Alright readers, I need some reader participation to make this post helpful.  There are a variety of surgery options and I think the best way to address them is with personal testimonies.

As for the…
