Everyday Is A New Beginning And A

In The '80s, I Thought I'd Be A Success As A Woman If I Were The President Of A Billion Dollar Company, Had A Sensitive Soul-mate Husband, Two Bilingual Children, Buns Of Steels, And A Compost Heap. In The '90s, I Pretty Much Feel I'm A Success If I Can Get Through The Afternoon Without Eating A Cheesecake.

I'm Most Proud Of Having Created Something That Men Never Completely Get.

My Mother Had Always Taught Me To Write About My Feelings Instead Of Sharing Really Personal Things With Others, So I Spent Many Evenings Writing In My Diary, Eating Everything In The Kitchen And Waiting For Mr. Wrong To Call.

Imagine My Surprise When, After A Lifetime Of Teaching Me To Keep Personal Things To Myself, Mom Insisted My Drawings Were The Start Of A Comic Strip For Millions Of People To Enjoy.

Every Time I Get Something Under Control In My Own Life, The World Provides More Material.
