It's fun being pursued by an ardent admirer and f...

And I carried that attitude with me everywhere, including my trip to the shoemaker.Now, to understand why something as simple as a trip to the shoemaker would stay with me all these years later, I have to explain.

- I recently received a letter addressed to Spectacular Rachelle Lee. At first I thought it was a joke. Who would write such a thing? I then thought maybe it was a mistake.

- What if there were just two choices you could make to insure that next year would be wonderful? There actually are, and these choices are quite simple in concept, yet not easy to do.

These have to do with your attitude and your intent.GR...
