It’s been a while…..my bad. Busy with many things, plain and simple. Returned a week ago from a writing seminar in another state. Came back refreshed, exhilarated, with more gumption than ever to stay the course. It was hard being away from my family for a week. As Dana says, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.’

Hard to believe our meeting with the new publisher in Oklahoma is just a few months out. It’s not looking like I’m going to get everything done I’d wanted to; but I will do as much as possible.

I want to proceed with my personal projects at a steady pace; but feel obligated to return to the story about my little buddy with mitochondrial disease. His days may be numbered, haven’t talked to them in ages (except for a recent text to his mother and occasionally reading on fb about him). When I put his project aside some time ago, we’d had so much completed on it.

Personally, Dana and I had a fun lunch date today at Bajio Grill. (I would be remiss not to mention the diet we’ve been on for nearly three weeks, Take Shape for Life. So far I’ve dropped eleven pounds and feeling good.) It seems more than coincidental walking around Staples this afternoon and talking at length with an HP rep. I happened to give her one of my cards and she wanted my book. It turns out this Miss Heather has a gig of her own and produces business cards, shirts, other promotional items, and so forth. Can’t wait to visit her website: “heather@JetDesignstudio.com,” and may touch base tomorrow with her for more ideas.
