Can you believe it?...Happily married all these years! People ask me all the time, "How do you do it?" Would you like the answer to this question? Sharing my marital secrets is what inspired me to create this blog. It was designed with you in mind.

Are you already reading excerpts from my book, Abby's Between Girlfriends: A Sharing of Marital Secrets? If not, you can find consecutive posts right here throughout the blog. By the time I finish posting the excerpts, you will have read my whole book! This is my way of giving back.

I post new excerpts along the way. You can find Excerpt #1 in the Blog Archive located on the sidebar (click the down arrow for May 2009, and click the A Sharing of Marital Secrets- Excerpt #1 link).

Come join me!

As always, I appreciate you telling your friends I'm here. Tell them, "She loves comments, so please leave one." Thanks.


Know You Are Blessed, Because You Are!

I hope you all enjoy my selection. Blessings, and have a great Friday!

Robbie, congratulations on your SITS featured blogger day and for having a successful 32 year marriage!! Good job!

I too, have had the pleasure of meeting and actually spending time socially with Halle, she's a sweetheart. It was incidentally around the time when she and Eric first started dating and then where first engaged. Unfortunately life happens, etc.

But this salutation is ALL about YOU. I look forward to the day when we actually meet face to face, that will be a special day. God bless you greatly!

Hi.. I have to brag... As you can see, I discovered your blog weeks ago. Congrats on your SITS feature, excellent choice SITS people.

I'm so impressed with the fact that you have a book. I'd venture that it's highly successful, heaven knows marriage isn't easy.

Personally, I never did get it right. Take care. Good seeing you again. Keri www.samwich365.com
