So, I wrote this book, a Chicago-area travel guide for families with tweens and teens. Have you heard? Yesterday, I got the best email from my publisher.

By the beginning of next week, I should have an actual sample copy in my hands. Once that happens, I will look at the book, make sure the cover isn’t on upside-down…

Lots of negative energy around those stories, no? What I’d like to cover in my post today is Thankfulness and Hope. When I was in New York City last month, I made a visit to Ground Zero on two occasions. The first was on foot with a bunch of great friends. We made our way…
