Rocking Chair Time
My family and business keep me busy, but I make time to read. In my rocking chair, surrounded by windows. The house is quiet, hot tea is ready. It’s time to read.
You might say that I am an Osmond fan. Yes, the Osmonds, the brothers who so harmoniously sang to us back in the 70s but who continue to sing to this day. I’m not ashamed to admit it. What I am ashamed to admit is that I had Donny’s autobiography, Life is Just What You Make It: My Story So Far, for a long time before I read it. Not only is it a book not to be missed, but it also left me wanting more. Fortunately, Marie, Merrill, Jay, and Wayne also have their own books. Reading their stories’ was a gift to me as a fan but also as a storyteller!
We all have our story. They are all important, both in photos and words. Not long ago, I had the honor to create both my aunt’s and my mom’s autobiographies. They each wrote about 10,000 words and with photos sprinkled throughout, before you know it, they each had a bound digital book! The books will be treasured.
