So it’s been awhile since my last post.  As many of you know, it can be a challenge to work ON your business when you’re enmeshed IN your business, no?  I’ve been busy, in part working on a great project for author Frank Lato, whose book on how to stop smoking will come out in its new, revised edition in early 2012.  He’s got a lot of insight into why people smoke, and a compassionate approach to reducing and eventually eliminating cigarettes from your life.  While I’m not a smoker (and lucky never to have been!), I found wisdom in his observations and been able to share them with friends and acquaintances facing the serious challenge of quitting smoking. It’s been fun to hear Frank on Rockingham County Radio (1490 WLOE), where he’s doing a half-hour show every week.

In spite of being “in the trenches” with my work as a writer and editor, I always (ALWAYS!) make time for reading.  Coming very soon are reviews of a couple of business books, including:  The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, by Nicholas Carr.  Stay tuned!
