Summer Greetings All!
I had a crazy start to this sunshine daydream celebration. One of my favorite bands, Dumpstaphunk, played a free outdoor show recently. 90-degree temp with a bit of humidity didn’t stop the band from playing a scorching two-hour set and I danced the whole time. (And I thank them for sharing their talents. If you get a chance and like to dance, they are New Orleans gift to the rest of us).
Summer lesson one- sometimes water just doesn’t do it and real dehydration is awful (head spins, nausea, dizziness)! I share this as a warning to other sunshine dancers… STAY HYDRATED!
I was down for the count for a week!
Yet I don’t know a better feeling than dancing in the sunshine to live music. Actually, any live music is a gift 😊
What are your summer adventures?
A Big Thank You!
Thank you to all the folks who came out to R.J.Julia Booksellers in Madison, Connecticut tonight for their Local Author series titled Beach Reads. It was a treat to share the stage with the fabulous J.R. McCabe and Dana Buckmir!
Much appreciation to R.J. Julia Booksellers for their continued support of local authors.
Sunny Saturday Greetings Friends & Fam!
What a week it has been!
If you would indulge me a bit, I would like to share a few adventures.
Last Friday I braved traffic and Jersey drivers to attend the Rutger’s Writing Conference. What an inspiriting weekend of motivation and education!
I attended multiple workshops featuring New York Times Bestselling Authors Eloisa James (pictured here with me), USA Today Bestselling Author Kristen Luciani, Amy Tan, Sean McCann, and so many others!
I am blessed t
o have so many aid me on my journey by sharing technique and experience.
After a short breather to review my notes, I headed to my hometown senior center to chat about Maximum Trouble, writing processes, and to listen to the wonderful stories of the folks who joined me. Thank you to those who took the time to share t
heir stories, ask a few questions, or just sat and listened. A special thanks to my high school class president, Tina, for inviting me over. (I am not going to put the number here, yet I will write that our class rules!)
Next stop is R.J. Julia Booksellers in beautiful Madison, CT on June 17th.
Until then, enjoy the sunshine and be kind for one another. Peace.
