Fun Fact

In February 2021, the cabin I had started building in December 2018 wasn't finished, but it had four walls and a roof. I still needed to complete the inside, which was filled with tools, tiles, buckets, lumber, etc. I had cleared only one small area for my small bed, where my dogs and I slept, and another even smaller area near a window for a single block and a box, in which I kept my laptop, phone, notes, calendar, etc. I sat on that block with my laptop on my lap and wrote Languages & Life Lessons. By the time I was ready to format my manuscript and design my cover in September, I finally had a desk and still no chair: I used two blocks instead of one and had to sit straight to reach my desk.

Book Review


"I found the protagonist of her own story to be a courageous, indefatigable, and resourceful human being. I congratulate her on her challenging feat of not only building the cabin she envisions, wants and needs, but also documenting her trials and errors, reflecting on them in this memoir. Moreover, she expresses gratitude for each and every opportunity. She is grateful for all that comes her way—good or bad.
If you read no other book this year, be sure to read this one."
