Measurable Outcome(s)

Comments: "It surprised me to hear that the author came up with the idea for her book (mystery) by writing a cookbook." "I learned that you shouldn't let peoples negative opinions affect you. Do what you love no matter what." "Important to have a sense of humor (author has a great one!) Life is too short to take everything seriously."
