CONSTRUCTIVE PROCRASTINATION … AGAIN

WA STATE BEAUTY EN ROUTE TO MT. BAKER

I must cease trip-cruising Facebook posts and get busy with the bookkeeping pile! Egad tax time is sliding toward me like an avalanche! I am w-a-y behind. Due to required moving of mega stuff into the garage three times this year. And I don’t know what the fifteen moving boxes conceal unless I read the labels …. that are yet unpacked. Sort of a good thing that I totalled the Prius and now we only have one vehicle … because the other half of the garage is … well … you know … Hmmmm. But hey! The sun is shining on the 100 foot bushy cedars outside my office window, branches dancing in the breeze, and sun-bathed in 50 shades of green, dotted with glowing gold and shining white.

SPRING IS ON THE WAY!

But first … with constructive procrastination, I must post this blog entry.  Chuckle. Wishing you all a good weekend!

 

 

Reading “The Alchemist” by Paolo Coelho

The current winter storms in the Pacific Northwest prevented my usual flurry of activities and opened a window for relaxation, reading and meditating. The phrase Personal Legend sent me on a personal search.

I’ve revisited my childhood to search out my favorite dreams and activities. This is a difficult task but I remember hungering for love, truth and a friendship with God.

God and I talked often … or I should say I talked to Him. His communication back to me was a feeling, or help with a decision.

Or letting me drop off a cliff.

But in my earliest memories I knew all people were equal and were not to be judged.

Enjoy the nostalgic photo. Hugs

 

 

 

UPDATING MY SOCIAL MEDIA

The new year begins. Watch me get on with my passion, to get a manuscript ready to publish.

Hope to keep posts brief and interesting. Wishing you all the best year ever, and when challenges appear, the wisdom, strength and faith to deal with them.

I hope to be able to see such color in person one day.

Enjoy.

I hope you all have a good week.  Autumn is a busy time for many.  Many Writers Conferences and workshops. And there is the NaNoWrMo. National Write a Book (in a) Month.  (Not for me this year.) So before we all begin, whether we are writers, or stay-at home and work, or in the external job force, here is a little music to enjoy.

I didn’t get a poll  ready. Maybe Next Sunday?

Review of Historical Romance “Traitor’s Curse”

Beth Trissel, Author, gave me an advance copy of “Traitor’s Curse” in exchange for an honest review.

’Traitor’s Curse” is a well written and refreshing read, full of :

incidents,

intrigues,

intense loyalties,

innocent dupes,

loves

hatreds

and dangerous spars against evil schemes.

The adventures both disrupt and intensify a developing romance centred in the Southern United States, following the War of independence against Britain.

The supernatural interventions mixed with foreshadowing are well done and believable in the story, whether or not we question the ghostly possibilities & curses … and they keep the reader turning the pages. The rapidly developing love story carries with it some inner turmoil in matters of belief and trust, but the gripping external conflicts are laced with danger and evil intent. The story draws the readers into the midst of the fray. And keeps them there.

I readily recommend this novel, “Traitor’s Curse” to anyone who wants to settle into a captivating read created by Beth Trissel, as she weaves her knowledge of the South, herbs and history into this enjoyable love story.

BLOGGING AGAIN

Some of you may know that I deleted my website quite a while ago because of hacking.  I didn’t want to risk taking the time to research a solution just in case my subscribers might be attacked. You all were my first concern.

Finally I’m ready to try the world of websites again, and am fiddling with hostgator, but haven’t yet discovered how to set up a new website.  So  I’m dipping my toes back into the cyber-water by posting on my old original blog.  Waving at anyone who sees this after so long a time!

I’ll share a photo or two about the most exciting thing that happened to me in 2014.  My daughter Lori and I went to Scotland for two weeks.
