My writer friend Dana is not only an awesome writer but a self-promotion goddess. I’m told that to be a successful author, it’s useful to have this skill, but when it comes to shouting from the rooftops about my writing, I’ve always been more of a whisperer. Until now.

I have bought one thing recently: a much-needed mirror for over the master bathroom sink. Way back in May, I hung a white Tyvek envelope on the wall to evaluate the ideal shape and position of the mirror. The envelope stayed there these many moons, so long that when I finally hung the new mirror, [...]
