My head went side to side rapidly. I needed a cup of strong coffee.

So, my beloved daughter and her family came home on holiday; I facilitated a Writing Workshop; I spoke at an author colleague’s 80th Birthday Party, and our annual Author’s Book Marketplace went off without a hitch.

Then, the server at my favorite coffee shop called me, panicking. Where the heck have you been? (It is all good).

In all this, I considered the folks obliged to deal with Summer’s hectic activities, secretly looking to the Fall so they could borough. Then I wondered what the rush and excitement were really about. Like you, I will continue to immerse myself in the work I do; I believe in going with the flow of my surroundings.

So, have a happy rest of the summer–remember, life happens!
