It’s been one month and one day since my last post, wow – time does fly. I’ve been working on revisions and tightening PR for the past few weeks (an agent took an interest, and we’ll see if the changes draw her in) … plus I’m almost done polishing MC (could it interest her as […]
North-easterly winds are blustering, causing the muted unpolished emerald ocean to buck and roll, but the sun is shining an it is a delicious 84 degrees. Yesterday afternoon, I took a long walk along the edge, let the still warm water splash and curl around my toes, and rescued five beautiful purple star-fish. Today, I […]
Woohoo, I’m off to the beach. Taking care of business — and then long runs on the hard packed sand, quality writing time while gazing at the ocean, and catching up on Ghost Whisper. Taking a few good books to read if I feel like soaking up the sun, may swim some laps in the […]
It has been gray and wet and cold for days now and it’s bumming me out. My creative side has disappeared with the sun, leaving behind a dull ache of emptiness. Tequilla is crying out (it seems constantly) — can he be missing Taco that much? I know I do! I find myself looking for […]
Less than 44 hrs ago we were on the top of a volcano (pichincha), amazed with the views of Quito below us. What were we doing in Quito you ask? Last week, we flew to Atlanta to meet the kids and traveled on to Ecuador for the wedding of one of our daughter-in-law’s best friends. […]
Last Tuesday one of our little guys (Taco, our 17 1/2 year old kitty) passed away, leaving a huge hole in our hearts. The house is so empty. He was our active, talkative little guy. Tequilla has been moping about — crying for his friend to come play. Very sad! We know he lived a […]
Went for a run in the park to contemplate an issue that’s been nagging me from MYSTICAL CONNECTIONS — came home with the problem solved, two scenes to fix, and eight fire engines parked on my street. OMG – Seems the roof on the building next door caught on fire!! People gathered across the street […]
Week one was spent riding to Sturgis and playing with lots of bikers. There were five bikes in our group and we saw almost everything on our list … Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Iron-something road (twisty & fun), the eye of the needle (super twisty & tight), Nemo ranch, Fort Hayes, Spearfish creek, Devil’s Tower, […]
do not come wrapped. My birthday weekend was the best yet! Why the best? 1. Time with my husband, doing all the things we like best, including motorcycles, beach, fun runs, sushi, champagne and so much more! 2. Time with our son, a weekend at the beach house, sharing in much of what we like doing. […]
To get my day started, I reached over to one of my many quote books. Randomly, I opened one of them to a page and here is what I got: Greatness – When we don’t enjoy what we do, we only nick the surface of our potential. by Dennis Wholey. How very true is that. […]
