I love ice cream… but I’m not sure that 31 flavors is a good thing. 

Seriously.

How do you decide? 

I get so overwhelmed by all of the things I WANT SO BADLY to do — both profesionally and personally — that I find myself unable to focus on anything and am basically left with no ice cream. 

And that’s really tragic. 

I lost my mom to breast cancer nearly 12 years ago.  She was always so good at helping me make decisions.  She’d take a side of the issue every time–though I doubt she really felt strongly either way.  Then she’d wait.  I’d either argue with her… or agree.  And I’d have my decision. 

I wish so much now that she were here to hear all about the countless ideas I have for books.  I’d tell her how I’m pretty much paralyzed by all these ideas because I can’t do them all right now, so therefore I do nothing.  And she’d quite simply pick one. 

Her: “I think you should write the book proposal with Jenn first, send it out and see who bites.”

Me: “You know what… you’re right.”

And then we’d go have ice cream.
