Reflect on Reflecting

Time for reflection.

Yes I realize it’s not the end of the year for this, but it is almost the end of another month.  That in itself is enough reason as any to reflect on things.

Well, let’s see.  This past month I’ve successfully gotten back to the routine of getting the kids up and ready for school.  And this time I’m not a zombie when I get up in the mornings.  And for those of you who know me very well, I don’t do well with mornings.  Especially when I am so comfy in bed, dreaming away.

Then I’ve been spending the last 3 weeks looking for my exercise book where I have my next book planned out, all 16 chapters.  But to no avail, I’ve come up empty. Other then turning this house upside down and shaking the crap out of it, I’m going to need a miracle.  I’m not a religious person, but I even asked Saint Anthony for help in locating it.  Still nothing.  So unless “he” or someone else finds it and throws it at me, I might have to end up thinking what I had written down, and start over again.  *facepalm*  This could be a while.

Then I’ve been helping a friend with his new business adventure.  So this weekend, you will see what I’ve been up too.  Well providing you are going to the sci-fi convention in Corner Brook this Saturday and Sunday.  If you did go, I hope  you enjoy the shirts.

I’ll have more things to write about later, but for now I’ll just leave you on this note:  Take the time to really appreciate nature around you.  Find a quiet place, free from noises from traffic and people, to find a place where you are truly alone.  Sit down and take in all the sights and sounds around you.  Letting go of all the worries you put on yourselves on a daily basis and live in this one peaceful moment.  I bet when you do, you will be a totally different person when leaving, then you were when you arrived.

Until next time,

K

Just one of those days

Have you ever sat in front of your computer or laptop, or even have a pen and paper laid in front of you and not have a clue what to write?  Well, that’s me right now.

I’m sitting here, with a chocolate chip muffin, cuppa tea, chatting with a friend and longing to write something interesting for you all to read, and I’m stuck.

Usually you can’t shut me up.  I’m always talking about something or other.  As you can tell by the amount of tweets I’ve tallied up in the span of almost 3 years.  But yet, today when I have a moment, my mind goes blank.

I guess I can update you all on some cool things that’s been happening to me lately.  Well, they are cool to me (and a little shocking – but not in a bad way).

Apparently, my book is a success.  And I say that cause I didn’t think I’d sell one book, let alone all 29 of them.  And most of then were sold by my hubby at his work.  I took my book out of the total. 🙂

So far from my friends who’s read it, or part of the way through, have enjoyed it.  One friend even went to far as to say that she “LOVES IT!!!”  I have the best friends a gal could ask for.  To be so supportive and encouraging me to keep going.  That is a rare thing and I treasure them all. XO

But for the most part, I’m happy.  Now all I need to do is to write the second part of the story so I can give it a proper ending.  I’m like most of you when it comes to stories that continue, but I wanted to see how well it would do before I would dedicate the rest of my life to writing.

Yes, I’m a full-time mom, and I love my family bunches, but I felt that there was more to me then what everyone saw.  I was missing something and I think this writing thing has filled that gap and now I can give myself another title.  AUTHOR.

Wow.  Didn’t think I’d ever get to say that about myself.  But there it is.  And I’m proud of what I have accomplished so far.  And those of you who have read the book (or plan on it), trust me, there’s more to come. 🙂

Until then, I’ll sign off with this:

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

XO
