[Below is what I had planned to post originally, prior to December 14th. It seems insensitive somehow for me to just post it and not pay my respects to those who lost their lives so tragically last week. So please, join me for just a moment, in a thoughtful moment of silence. RIP, little angels, you and your valiant protectors.

Thank you.]

I know, I know–another short post. You may be asking yourself, “What’s wrong with Julia? Is she sick?”

No, I’m not. It’s the holidays, and family is taking the front seat right now, as it should. So instead of a long post, I want to share with you instead the long-awaited, much-anticipated video of my most recent appearance on the “It’s A Woman’s World” show with two amazing and inspiring fellow writers, Betty Liedtke and Dara Beevas. If these two women don’t make you want to jump up and write RIGHT THIS MINUTE–well, don’t quit your day job just yet.

Enjoy!
