November Fundraising: The Best Thing That Happened to Me This Week Was You
In this dumpster fire of a year, the most unexpected highlights in my 2020 turned out to be you, Cannonballers. Just this week, one of LanierHgts’s reviews garnered a comment from the author, Phyllis Fagell, saying that this review was the best thing that happened to her this week. And it’s all because LanierHgts read Middle School Matters. Every single time an author comments on a CBR review, it’s a thrill and really keeps me going; and so I thank you all from the bottom […]

CBR Diversions – What Was the Best Thing That Happened to YOU This Week?
I shared the best thing from my week the other day (spoiler: it’s you!) and wanted to share where that came from: the podcast, It’s Been a Minute, with Sam Sanders. It’s a fun interview/pop culture show; and at the end of every episode, they play a couple of minutes of voicemails from listeners who tell Sam the best thing that happened to them that week. These brief tales range from the mundane to the extraordinary; they are sweet, funny, amazing, and touching, and I […]
