Dear Friends,
Happy November! If life were a roller coaster, then we would be headed up before the curve down that takes us free falling from Thanksgiving to the New Year. And this year, Halloween felt like an endurance race in my house. But I remind myself to feel it all along the way. We can choose to see the sunshine or the clouds . When I look back at our Halloween photo, the overplanning, logistics, and the exhaustion will be a distant memory, and my children’s faces will be all that I see.

Getting It Done
When my friend Bobbi Rebell went to her book club recently, she was asked how she managed to get her book done. When she was writing her book, Bobbi worked full time as a TV anchor and personal finance columnist for Thomson Reuters and she is a married mom of three. To describe her as busy would be an understatement, though as Bobbi likes to say, “We're all busy!”
In Bobbi's case, she dropped her son off at school at the earliest possible drop off time each morning and then beelined to a coffee shop in her Golden Triangle (the three points between home, work, and her kid's school). Here she strategically planted herself in a nook where she was not in danger of being interrupted by someone she knew. She worked for two hours and then arrived at her full-time job at 9 am.
At night after putting her son to bed, she went to Whole Foods and worked some more. She picked Whole Foods because it was across the street from home so she could race back if she was needed.
Eight months later, How to be a Financial Grownup was complete. This is how a full time working mom put a book together. As the world’s most successful people do, she found a way to get it done.
