My Friend Jacob Moon~

I am so pleased that my picture book is about to be published!!! Only a couple more weeks and my baby will be done!

I must add: when you truly desire something, when you know what you want the outcome to be, when you are pumped for amazing results and when you don't let other distractions take your attention away from your ultimate goal... That's when things start coming together like a whirl wind. People come into your life that were never there before, opportunities arise that you hadn't thought about before and doors that you never knew existed - open! What amazing process and the journey has just begun!!! Where will this take me? Who will I meet? Where will I travel? What will I be inspired to write? This is so exciting!!!

Wow!! What A Great Start To The NEW YEAR!!!!

Last year was probably the worst year of my life! Bar none! I experienced turmoil and sadness like never before and everything awful I may have experienced in years previous, well that stuff came back to haunt me too!

Things were looking up nearer to the end of the year, but it still had a lot of pain attached to it. Even new years eve was nothing special, although the people were wonderful, we just watched a movie on t.v. and ate frozen food (cooked of course).

AND Then it happened....

THE NEW YEAR!! Wow! January first was brought in celebrating with friends! Mo made amazing homemade blueberry waffles and Colin made amazing espresso and Baily's what a combo! :) sunshine, champagne and OJ, Pictures to capture the smiles, and catching up with people that I haven't seen in ages or even years! That's how New Years morning is supposed to be brought in!

Later in the afternoon, I went to my dad and mom's place, picked them up (almost got knocked over by a bear, or so I thought before I realized that it was just the biggest friendliest bear look alike~dog [rescued]) and then we met up with my sister Brandy at the Boathouse restaurant where we proceeded to have an amazing lunch and a beautiful visit together. Unfortunately Brandy left for work, but I was able to finish bringing in the new year with mom and dad. We talked all evening and I drove home with my heart filled with joy from such an amazing day.

So since that first day, the year has been moving straight up hill!!! I have finally found an artist that is going to help me scan and touch up my art!!! He is a professional exactly in that field (water color and digital enhancement). I am completely honored to have him working with me on my book! I am ecstatic actually!

On the same day of the artists confirmation, I also had a phone call from the Langley Players saying that I got the part I had auditioned for!! I finally after 8 auditions in the past year got my first part!

Now, although a phone may seem to be no big deal... I was able to buy an iphone 4!! I have been without a phone for 4 months, since I drowned my last iphone in a cup of coffee while it was plugged in! So, not only are things rolling along beautifully, but I am also re-connected with the world again!!!

So, definitely, this year is off to an amazing start!!

I have been painting and writing and now acting, and completing my manuscript and on my way to having a full and extremely successful year! Wahooo!

Speaking of success... I can only get there if I take action, so I had better get to work! I am going to finish my personal data entry! It has to get done and since tomorrow never comes, today it must!

Have an amazing week!!!
