"The work goes on, the cause endures…"
As the song goes, “I am wo-man. W-O-M-A-N.” I love shopping AND sports. (46 days till the first NFL game!) My book encourages women to go for the “points,” using football as the metaphor.

In keeping with my sports fandom, I should be writing about the NBA Playoffs. But with the 4 out of 7-game format, they seem to go on forever. The good stuff is still a couple of weeks away, when we get the Western and Eastern Finals leading to the BIG FINAL. So let’s focus on…
