Excellent Book

Darbella and I listen to tons of audio books. We heard the introduction to Teri Hatcher's "Burnt Toast," and loved it. We downloaded the abridged audio book, loved IT, and now have ordered the hardcover.
Hatcher is very Zen-like in her writing. She has come to the conclusion that she alone is responsible for both the direction of her life and how she chooses to feel = shades of my own book, This Endless Moment.
I encourage you to read this book for the simple, profound and of-times hilarious lessons.

11-year-old ABSOLUTE Diva!!!

OK. I admit it... I LOVE TV variety shows, like American and Canadian Idol. The other day, by a fluke, I caught "America's Got Talent." (I was bored...)

Anyway, right at the end, they do a pre-interview with an 11-year-old, and she says something like: "Some people think there's a Black Blues singer in me."

I'm thinking, "Right. This ought to be good."

I'm not easily blown away, but I was that night. Thank god I was taping it. I listen, I get chills, I hear angels, etc.

Today, I found an online link for a video feed of her performance, and the judges' comments.

Check this out. If you are not blown away by Bianca Ryan, I can assure you... you are dead!
