Amy now on a Bucket List: Peggy from Bossier City, Louisiana holds her autographed copy of Amy Signs. Peggy's husband and my husband are old USAF buddies. Peggy has known my husband for years, and met me for the first time several years ago. She knew me casually, but after reading Amy Signs, she said she could really understand why I am the way I am: driven, determined, super organized, etc. She was so impressed with Amy's writing style and all that she has accomplished, that she has added Amy to her Bucket List. Peggy said she wants to meet Amy because, "She is something special."

"Yes," my husband replied. "Amy is a piece of work."

Perhaps not the best way to describe Amy, but an accurate. She is definitely a my way or get out of my way woman.
