Shawn A. Ricks, Author

My favorite time of day is early morning having coffee with my husband. We make sure we get up together and have enough time before starting the work day to spend time with each other, drinking coffee, watching the news, talking about what the day will bring, our plans for the rest of the week or weekend, whatever is on our minds. It’s a time to encourage and support each other, help solve problems, or just sit there in silence – enjoying the comfort of the other’s presence. It is time spent with my best friend that we protect with everything we have. He gives me the encouragement and confidence, the drive, to continue to push myself outside of my comfort zone – to keep pursuing my dreams. To start writing my book.
