food love underdog vibe
I love everything about Philadelphia, and its food is like the city itself: real-deal, hearty, and without pretension. We've always had an underdog vibe as a city, but that just makes us try harder, and I love our scrappiness and scruffiness.
love-is giving
Because the thing about love is that we can't control whether we get it, but we can control whether we give it.
heart philadelphia names
I love the dignity in the name Philadelphia, but at heart, we're Philly.
brave determined ends
If you cant be brave then be determined. And you will end up in the same place.
ocean wave surface
Bad things are like waves. They're going to happen to you, and there's nothing you can do about it. They're part of life, like waves are a part of the ocean. If you're standing on the shoreline, you don't know when the waves are coming. But they'll come. You gotta make sure you get back to the surface, after every wave. That's all.

loss healed-you broken
Nobody was ever replaced in life, no hole completely filled or loss totally healed. You didn't need a medical degree to know that the human body really wasn't stronger in the broken places. Like any bone, the cracks would always show if you looked hard enough.
editors skills truth-is
Truth is, every writer has to be a good editor, and you have to edit yourself. It's a skill every writer has to acquire.
rude listening knows
Likewise, I would never be so rude as to not interrupt a friend. How else would she know I was listening?
writing thinking stories
Truly I never thought of myself as writing legal thrillers, and I still don't think I do. I write stories about women.
heart feet middle
Any middle-aged woman knows that our feet are not for the faint of heart, especially in midwinter. I wear clogs, so it's actually like my feet are wooden now.
writing thinking trying
The truth is that every writer, whether it's fiction or nonfiction, is trying to write something truly original and that's what I think I'm doing.
writing thinking mortgage
I still think I'm writing Nancy Drew with a mortgage.
cost fortune
everything associated with weddings cost the same - a fortune.
