From The Mouth of Babes

I was fretting this morning about writing a synopsis for my book series in response to an agent request - when my 17 year old son, wrapped his arm around me and said 'chance favors the prepared mind'.  I was dumbstruck.  Of course, those were not his words.  They were the words of famous Frenchman Louis Pasteur, over a century ago.  But Kevin's timely sounding was so perfectly unexpected. 

I don't think I can express how proud it makes me in being his mother.  Kevin - I love you, sweetie.  You're right.  Now there's a flash of insight, seeing my little boy on the verge of manhood - giving me advice! 

Preparation is the key to success in any endeavor.
