I received one of those silly chain-mail messages in my e-mail inbox last week and I just about did what I do with every single one of the chain e-mail messages I receive, hit delete. But I decided to give it a read. She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens. She smiles when she feels like screaming, and she sings when she feels like crying.

Promise me you won’t get used to me blogging from fancy places as decadent as this resort and I will attempt to not expect to be blogging from places such as this. So, why am I here? Good question.

Kind of like a one-stop-shop for me, the planner. I...
