Very soon I'll leave for Seabrook Island and a weekend retreat with soul friends. I doubt I'll be in a bathing suit, but the weather is predicted to be sunny and warm. My Happy By Myself ms arrived back from writing coach yesterday! What a life-changing event! Lisa's evaluation inspired me to get truly serious about this book. So, now the real work begins and I'm eager to get started - but first, I'll clear the slate - and establish a routine - and just LOVE IT! I've been writing all my life and published quite a few academic and lay writings during my forestry career but now I'm writing about LIFE! Actually Lisa brought it out loud and clear that what the book is really about is the 6 activities and 6 needs I've been writing and speaking about since 1996. Strange but that surprised me - it seems like old stuff to me - but to her it was exciting. So, I'll rethink my approach. That really is the heart of the book, of course. Or it should be, she thinks! I'll still post often, but you may get bored with all the writing stuff I'm bound to be thinking of.
