 Today is our 24th wedding anniversary. We aren't big on celebrating and making a big fuss on our anniversary but we try to do something together. Since both our schedules involved work and things to do today, we spent the weekend together. It was fun.  Don't get me wrong, we spend weekends together all the time but this past weekend we decided to have fun and work little. It was great! One thing that attracted me to Ed, besides how sharp he looked in his dress blues, was is sense of humor and relaxed nature. I like to have fun but "relaxed" isn't an adjective most use to describe me. I can relax but it takes work and planning ahead of time, hence, not my strongest attribute. LOL And a fitting video...the Minions singing Happy Anniversary! I look forward to more laughter & fun

Inspired by a class of students with energy, creativity, and determination to succeed.
To write is fun for some, like me, yet some struggle to come up with an idea or how to take an idea and make it come alive on paper.
"Faith's Feather Pen" is a gift from a lover of words for future generations.
Never give up, you only need Faith and feather pen and your stories will fill the pages of your journals and scrap papers.

Have a great day and inspire a
young writer today!
My plan was to share SUCCESS and INCHES LOST, or maybe even BETTER SLEEP. Guess what? I have none of these life changing and beneficial things to share with you.
Instead, I have to admit I tried one day and didn't get through the first 1 1/2 minutes of the routine. I'm rethinking what to do next. Here are the options
I have thought of as of now:
1) reduce the time for each exercise for a bit
OR
2) find a new routine today to start tomorrow.
I'm leaning towards staying with the one I have and lessen the time per exercise and work my way up.
The only option I won't consider or accept is to quit. If you started a new exercise routine, how did you do this past week? Share a word or two.

My health is worth it. Is yours?
Faith is our newest family member. She is a sweet, energetic, and loving puppy.
As I worked on a childrens' book about a character who struggled to come up with something to write about, I struggled to determine the main character.
At first it was going to be a bunny with other forest friends but my poor rabbit drawing as of yet eliminated this idea.
As I worked on a childrens' book about a character who struggled to come up with something to write about, I struggled to determine the main character.
At first it was going to be a bunny with other forest friends but my poor rabbit drawing as of yet eliminated this idea.
One evening I sat on the couch doodling and thinking of who my main character could be when Faith snuggled in and nudged my pencils. I asked her to stop but she continued and that is when I realized she would be the struggling writer. I included our beloved and aging Tink as her mentor. The parts of the book I was still playing with came to me once Faith was chosen.
To make this a family project, our daughter grabbed her camera each time she took Faith out to play or do her "business" and captured the photographs within the book. She did a great job and left little editing to me when I put the book together.
This week I'm mailing signed copies to the kiddos who inspired this book along with their own feather pens to start writing. At the back of the book there are a few pages lined and ready for budding authors to write. This is exciting stuff...right?!

I found this 30 day challenge on www.health.com and found myself an accountability partner. We started on August 1st, it's been four days and I can feel it.
I'm posting my "before pic" on the blog as a way to hold myself accountable. My hope is to post each Friday with an updated pic but it is summer and my brain is flighty so I'll do my best.
As I look as these pics I can't believe I'm sharing it here. If you want to attempt this 30 day journey with me, leave a message below and tag me on Facebook when you give updates. We can spur each other on to healthier and more fit versions of ourselves.

The challenge I'm using is from www.health.com but you should set goals and use exercises that are comfortable and fitting for you. I looked at a few on Pinterest and this is one I decided to try. I chose a 30-day challenge in hopes of instilling healthier habits into my mornings. In addition to this morning routine, I hope to make it to the gym 3 x a week. This is my first goal, I'll adjust it on September 1st if needed.
I'm Ready to Get Fit...Are you?
Some ask, "What is your next book about?", "What are you writing?" or "When is your next book coming out?"
I can't answer all of these BUT I can share this...I am writing and the next book to release is for struggling writers.
My hope is to encourage elementary aged students to write but who knows, it might inspire someone older too, maybe even you.
You can visit Amazon for more information. "Faith's Feather Pen" isn't available yet BUT stay tuned...once my inspirations receive the first copies, it will be available to the public.
What is Faith's Feather Pen About?
Faith is anxious when it comes to writing yet her friend Tink helps her overcome her fear by giving her a "magic" feather pen. In the end, Faith learns the magic isn't in the feather but within her. A lesson every struggling writer benefits from realizing.
Look for a release date in August...who do you know that will benefit from this book? More information to come and I hope to try something new when this one releases...stay tuned.
