MY "TO DO" LIST FOR 2008

Hey Everybody,

I’m the Crime Sistah who pretty much did a disappearing act for 2007. But I’m back!

These days, I’m gearing up for the release of my third novel, Murder on the Down Low, which is scheduled to go on sale July 1, 2008. While, I’m anxious to move forward with another project, I can’t seem to let the book go, so I tweak, and tweak and tweak. Soon, I’ll have to say, enough is enough.

I want to share my list of New Year’s resolutions in the hope that by making them public I’ll stick to them. Luckily, I only have five. I vow to:

Spend daily time in prayer and meditation, even if I only have five minutes. I have so much on my plate at the moment that all I seem to do is throw balls in the air and hope that they don’t come down. Well, no matter how busy I think I am, I’m going to start the day out giving thanks. So far, so good for 2008 on this one.

Exercise at least three days a week, even if I can only find 20 minutes. Didn’t meet this goal for the first week of the year, but I have 51 more weeks left.

Read my snail mail at least once a week. I’m an email addict. If you send me an invitation via snail mail, don’t expect to see me at your event. (Thank God for electronic bill pay!) I now have a bucket of mail that I vow to read before Saturday. We’ll see.

Blog once a week. (I promise!)

Continue to pursue my passion: writing legal thrillers. This one is a sure bet!
