Road Trips and Renuions

My sisters and I took a road trip this last week on the way to my school reunion. It is always a great trip to spend time with my sisters because they also happen to be two of my best friends. 

One of the things we did along the way was stop at the memorial site of Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA. To say it was a moving tribute just wouldn’t do it justice. The site and the memorial are so lovely and so well done that we spent many hours there just walking through the Visitor’s Center, along the walkway to the memorial wall, and saying a prayer as we viewed the actual crash site. If you have the opportunity to visit, I highly recommend it. 

Then it was on to the reunion on Saturday night. I wasn’t sure what to expect – I haven’t seen most of these people in 50 years. So you can imagine my surprise when I came out of the elevator and heard several people call my name. They recognized me and more shocking was that I recognized them!  

As the evening went on, the subject of my books came up as the emcee was listing the various accomplishments of our graduates. Soon some of my classmates were coming to me asking questions and wanting more information about my work. Since I am E-published on Amazon/Kindle, I only had my bookmarks to give them and I was so pleased and proud to hand them out and sign them when requested. It was a stunning evening for me and as a new author, one I won’t soon forget and for which I will always be grateful.  

Spending time with my sisters, seeing friends from long ago, and talking about my writing – it just doesn’t get much better than this.

Serious Stuff

I usually keep my blogs pretty lighthearted but I’m writing this on 9-11, so it’s a pretty somber day for Americans and for many in the world.

I tend to talk to God a lot – daily, for sure. Sometimes I just thank Him, other times I ask him to give my love to all of my family that has surely joined Him above those beautiful clouds floating across the sky. Today I asked him to give comfort to the families and loved ones of the victims of that terrible day. They need His comfort not just today, but every day they face without the ones they miss so dearly.

I am also reflecting on my own days and thanking Him for the opportunities He seems to provide to me. I’m so grateful for the ability to write the books that give me so much joy and feed my passion for the written word. People have told me it’s a gift and for me, the gift is to be shared. 

So on this day, fifteen years later, and every day to follow, I hope you all will follow your dreams and passions and love the life you’ve been given. Make the most of it. 
It is a gift.
