My Mother, Marian Nicholson at the beach a week before her 90th birthday.
Quoting Mom
__Life on the Blue Planet
You Might as Well Laugh as Cry!
For about three years, this book has been ready to be published. I approved it for publication in September, 2025 and announced here on my blog that it was coming soon. I am so sorry for the delay in publication and for the unauthorized disaster of an ebook!
I do not understand quite how that happened, but rather than trying to place blame, I will just take my mother’s good advice… laugh, and continue working on the projects I have underway. I hope to return to blogging soon.
Love to all my Fellow Bloggers,
Cheryl

Congratulations, Cheryl, on completing the project. I look forward to reading the book. And your mother’s words are a compass. If we simply treat others the way we would like to be treated, there wouldn’t be a problem in this world.
