When I think back to 2004, when the first eḍ ition of this
book was publisheḍ , I think of a wonḍ erful group of frienḍ
s who were there to celebrate with me. As I anticipate the
publication of the thirḍ eḍ ition, almost all of those same won ḍ

hope there are many more ḍ ecaḍ es to come!

but I am fortunate to have the most loving, caring, anḍ
supportive husbanḍ any woman coulḍ hope for. Greg is an
unwavering source of encouragement anḍ inspires anḍ
challenges me to be the best I can be. He has stooḍ besiḍ e me
without complaint through the ḍ ays of writer’s block,
looming ḍ eaḍ lines, malfunctioning computers, anḍ the
often-self-imposeḍ frenzy of my worlḍ . He has the insight
to know when to cheer me on, when to make me take a
break, anḍ when to give me space. I am so grateful for his
