To my editor, Allison Lyons, for being a dream to work with—thank you! To my agent, Jill Marsal, for always having the right words of encouragement—thank you!

To my children, Brandon, Jacob and Tori, who inspire me to be the best version of myself every day. I'm eternally grateful. Whether we're up late carving pumpkins or cheering each other on in our daily adventures (some might say antics) I'm always grateful for our close relationships. Brandon, welcome to the 1m challenge. I'd wish you luck but since you're one of my competitors...game on, buddy! I love you all so very much!

And to John, for laughing no matter how silly we get and for jumping in with both feet for every challenge no matter how crazy. I can't imagine a better partner in crime and in life. I love you!
