Another episode of “Get to know the author…” I fall asleep within a minute or two as soon as the light is out. I don’t need a notebook by my bed as new book ideas make my mind race. I’m quite literally gone to the world. Sometimes mid-sentence. On that note… G’night! Sweet dreams…💤💤💤

The greatest lessons I learned were when I worked at a high-end resort. An international staff working with local people from the island. My favourite guests were the ones who saved their whole life for that trip. And the island’s people, though they had very little, were the most generous. 🧵1/

Sometimes, life really is like the movie City Slickers. With responsibilities and stress… We often need a reality check on what is important - to get out there to find our smiles. I hope you have the ability to take some time to do that. It’s important.❤️

Sometimes, I say things out of nowhere, then they actually happen. I asked my husband the other day, “Have you ever sat beside someone on a plane who absolutely stinks?” No idea what triggered the question. I got this text message from him last week from the plane.🔮😂

He felt her squeezing his hand. They had finally unplugged that damn machine with the incessant beeping. The #echolalia of the heart - its performance now heading off, off Broadway. One regret. Did he tell her of his love for her enough? Reading his mind, as usual, she whispered, “Yes.” #vss365

I watched some old home videos last night. The best! My kids’ bday parties, Christmases… Faces of loved ones who are no longer with us. Little verbal gem memories. There’s a tourist place nearby called African Lion Safari. A radio ad. My youngest: “Mommy! They’re swearing! Ah… Fricken Lion Safari.”😂

#FlashbackFriday Worst. Trip. Ever. Montezuma took aim on the first day and it was like I was on a perpetual cleanse. Legs crossed, “Take the damn picture. Now, get out of my way.” “Run, Sheila, Run!” I can laugh about it now. I laughed about it then. Traveller’s diarrhea is no joke.😂

I’ve heard all the wannabe sexy people do fishnet Fridays but all of my fishnet paraphernalia is packed away with fishing poles. So instead, like any author (non-wannabe sexy) worth her salt who can improvise, I give you burlap boobs. This was wrapped around a tree out back during the winter. 😉😆
