A dear friend (yes, you Kim!) gave me a gentle admonishing for not updating my latest news—I have been so focused on my book proposal, it has not been on my immediate to do list. \u00a0Plus, the holidays were so fraught with wrapping paper, stocking stuffers, and many, many ‘cups o’cheer’ that, laziness has become my favorite companion.<\/p>\n
In a few weeks, I am heading up to one of favorite my power spots on the planet (Mt. Shasta) to continue research for my novel, which, has been like a neglected lover ever present on my mind. \u00a0My generous sponsor, Jennifer, is gifting me \u00a0a plane ticket and lodging for my birthday. \u00a0I plan on completing my outline in the inspirational shadow of the great mountain while recharging my spiritual batteries.<\/p>\n
The eternal quest for peace continues to be my most needed goal for 2012. \u00a0Inner emotional balance and deep, deep breaths of pure oxygen is the only way I can seem to touch and capture this elusive character. \u00a0Yoga helps.<\/p>\n
I wish you peace of mind. \u00a0I wish you joy in the small things like the ability to SEE a beautiful sunset…SMELL fresh baked chocolate chip cookies…HEAR your child’s laughter…TOUCH a loved one’s face…WALK in beauty.<\/p>\n
