Well, in about six hours’ time, we’ll be flying off to lovely Phuket for four fantastic days of absolute bliss doing nothing but lazing by the pool, lounging in the villa, reading, shopping and just relaxing.
But don’t envy me … it’s part work for me too. Got a couple of meetings on the first day set […]

This post took me slightly longer to compose as I wanted to do justice to the book and its author, LaVyrle Spencer.
