Julie Ricks

Editor, Writer, Wit, and Klutz

<p>In November of this year, 2012, with any luck, I will turn 50. I dreaded it for a long time, but now realize what a gift it is to grow old. There's still so much of this world and this life that I've yet to experience--I don't want to pack it in until I've accomplished everything on my "to do" list.</p> <p>Being diagnosed with eye cancer only made me realize just how precious life is, and how quickly the time goes by. Life can be snatched away in a heartbeat without warning. Value it.</p> <p>I need to finish and publish my book this year. I'll do it with one eye or two, but I WILL do it.</p> <p>I need to continue giving my very best to the authors who hire me to edit and publish their books for them. They have no idea how much joy this brings me. It's what I studied, trained, and longed for all my life--helping people with their words. I hope I can continue to do it until my last day on Earth.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Peace and blessings,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Julie</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>PS:&nbsp; I also broke my ankle in February of this year, hence the klutz moniker. 2012 has been a tough one.</p>
