Living Donors
This post isn’t meant to feel like pressure for anyone but so many people ask me about this subject that I thought I would address it in my blog. Most people think that the only way they can donate a kidney is after they are dead. That is not so. You can live just fine with only one kidney. I’ve even heard it said that maybe that is why God gave us 2 kidneys – so we can give one away! Hee! Hee! I’ve also been told that kidney recipients do better with living kidneys than they do with cadaver kidneys – but us recipients aren’t too picky!

Holiday Florida
I’ve been doing a lot of book reviews lately and I believe that is because I did a LOT of reading while my computer was down. This next book I enjoyed very much. It was a very good book but wasn’t too cutesy. I think you woul enjoy reading it.
by Sandra D. Bricker
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
For more than a decade, Author Sandra D. Bricker lived in Los Angeles. While writing in every spare moment, she worked as a personal assistant and publicist to some of daytime television’s hottest stars. When her mother became ill in Florida, she walked away from that segment of her life and moved across the country to take on a new role: Caregiver.
One of Sandie’s passions revolves around the rights of animals. She’s been involved in fundraising for Lost Angels Animal Rescue for several years now; in fact, a portion of the proceeds of Love Finds You in Holiday, Florida will go to help the non-profit group with their expenses. And Lost Angels paid her back in a big way: They brought a free-spirited Collie named Sophie into her life after the loss of her 15-year companion Caleb.
It was her 8th novel that opened the door to finding her way as a writer. In Sandie’s words: “I guess most people would see my career as a publicist as a sort of dream job. But giving it up turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me!” she declares. “Not only was I given the gift of getting to know my mother as an adult woman before she passed away, but I was also afforded the blessing of being able to focus completely on my dream of a writing career. I’m a Christian woman, first and foremost, so it was a bit of a dream-come-true when Summerside Press chose me as one of two authors to launch their new Love Finds You line.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
Lawyer Cassie Constantine has no plans to stay in Florida. She’s here just long enough to sell her late husbands vacation house, a tacky bungalow she’s always despised then she’ll hightail it back to her gracious Boston brownstone.
But the place needs more work than Cassie bargained for. What’s more, her widow status is like a target on her back and the elderly matchmakers around town manage to sidetrack her mission at every turn.
Holiday is a landmine of golf tournaments, ballroom dancing competitions, shuffleboard and day trips. But the biggest obstacle of all? Richard Dillon, the stuffed shirt she’s paired with on the dance floor.
Cassie had always considered herself uptight but Richard won’t take a walk on the beach without his socks and shoes! There’s one little problem he makes her heart beat faster than the rhythm of the quickstep. Can Cassie and Richard let loose long enough to have a little fun?
