Here’s a quick update from somewhere nice and warm! Thought I’d stop in for a brief catch up – life has been so crazy busy lately, but I’m not complaining. The publishing world works in funny ways -what I’ve learned in the past ten or so years, is that one must just keep at it,…
Happy Sunday, everyone. I’ve lost my husband to Football season, the sun is shining despite the high winds and I’ve locked myself inside my home as ten wild turkeys circle around my yard, waiting to eat me. Somewhere Along the Way released last Tuesday, September 24 while I was at my nephew’s wedding in Vancouver….
Welcome to Summer! Since our last blog entry, I’ve celebrated my 60th birthday, vacationed in the Philippines, traveled for work to New York and Toronto (more than once), received the award of my life, spoken at a Youth Leadership Conference and finished my latest book! Needless to say, I am so ready for an uneventful…
I’ve been out of words for weeks. Full of thoughts and ideas and musings but my words are nowhere to be found. Which alarms me greatly – because I’ve circled the cycle of life in the past few weeks with nothing to show for it but a head full of reflection. Maybe it’s because I’ve…
It was a last minute decision – but when told about this once in a lifetime opportunity, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be there in person? Before that, I’d been booking and canceling trips since March -despite envying my friends who seemed to be traveling freely. So last week when we found…
I got a text the other day from my friend, TF, who said – “make sure I’m in charge of your birthday video next year.” “What?” I asked, surprised. “What video?” “You know, the videos you make on birthdays that have all your accomplishments? I’m making that video for you next year.” “Well,” I said,…
The Year I Left. Actually, it was two years. And although it feels like a lifetime ago, everything still sits so vividly in memory. Caught up in a swirl of activity and events, I could hardly recognize myself. I didn’t know it was depression at that time, all I knew was that I was ready…
What a whirlwind it’s been. I was actually doing a college drop off on Release Day, so in between texts and posts, I was on an emotional level all on its own. He’s our youngest, you know. And his personality has been the highlight of our home for 18 years. The irony of both events…
And we thought nothing could top the month of May! In June, I had the privilege of being a signing author at Tarryn Fisher’s The Girls Are Back in Town event in Richmond, Virginia. In the weeks leading to this event, I was the most disorganized I’d ever been, with work priorities, home move packing…
The month of May was life changing. My feet have yet to touch the ground. Speaking, signing, graduating, celebrating and merging. Where they all lead to, I have no idea. But in every single one of those moments, there were valuable lessons to be learned. On May 16, I spoke at a Woman’s Conference. Delivering…
