Wendi Kelly's Blog: Life's Little Inspirations

Water, Water Water

File this under attitude adjustment…

Today our town wakes up to find out that for some unknown reason, our water is gone. WHAT??? Phone calls to the village before it is open are met with a message something to the effect of “If you are calling about the water, we know, we are working on it.”

Mystery, mystery.

How fricking annoying!! I had plans for that water!

And then I think about Flint, Michigan.

“There are women who make things better... simply by showing up. There are women who make things happen. There are women who make their way. There are women who make a difference. And women who make us smile. There are women of wit and wisdom who- through strength and courage- make it through. There are women who change the world everyday... Women like you.”

“The pleasures of being a novelist are many. But the greatest by far is the manner in which I live through my characters; experiencing every detail of their story as it unfolds gradually and personally within my own creative psyche. I'm like a cat with untold lives, because each new book is my rebirth.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich
