Her book: Fur Friends Forever: Follow this amazing adventure of two dogs with different lifestyles as they take on a new situation that tests them. This story is about friendship and all that comes with it including peer pressure in decision making. Enjoy this journey while Abby, Lincoln, and Molly learn the true meaning of care, love, and sacrifice.

Tip: How to Read More Books Than You Ever Imagined: I recently came across an amazing app for my phone called Blinkist that provides written and audio summaries of books that I can consume like potato chips. (If you’ve never seen me consume potato chips, you’re welcome.) I was skeptical of Blinkist, but tried the free 7-Day trial, and then I fell in love. I know I’ll never be able to consume all the books I want to read about becoming a better human, building a better business, and many other important categories, yet Blinkist breaks down the core concepts of books I know I’ll never get to and offers it in easily consumable “blinks” that allow me to get the gist of an entire book in about 12 minutes. I kid you not. I’m now a subscriber. Yes, of course I still read, and a lot, and I still listen to audio books on Audible, regularly, but I love Blinkist for those books that I just want the essence of to apply in my life. You can try Blinkist for 7-Days free, and I think you will thank me; it is one of the most amazing technologies I have run across in a long time. That’s saying a lot. (Share this on Twitter)
