After All, Children Are Children No Matter

If You're Tearing Around In A Panic About Something, Then It Puts Everyone Else In A Panic As Well.

Growing Up In England, Of Course You Do Absorb Certain Ways The Royals Wave Their Hands And Carry Themselves. Like Most Girls, I Fantasized About Being Some Sort Of A Princess.

Sadly I Don't Sing. I Missed It For A Long Time, But My Daughter Emma Said Something Wonderful When I Was Feeling Blue One Day: "mom, You've Just Found A Different Way Of Using Your Voice, And That's With Your Books."
