I don’t remember a time when I didn’t dream of making a living as a writer. Keeping diaries as a child….graduating to journals when that came into vogue….dreaming and dreaming. My dreams came true in 2014! Thanks to this blog I developed a platform on-line that has served me well!
I signed two contracts this year with a wonderful publishing house. The first in my children’s book series will debut in February of 2015. My first novel will be split into five separate stories and debut in 2016. I’m pinching myself with happiness over all that is happening….all the goodness that is coming my way at long last.
I also learned how to play again in 2014! Thanks to a lovely group of outstanding professional women. We have a touch of mischief, just enough to make our time together memorable and fun! Integrating play with work is so very important. I intend to continue my adventures in 2015, meeting more wonderful people….featuring more history and stories….connecting the past and present in this beautiful place we call home.
I’m making a new “TaDa” list for 2015. Not resolutions….I am resolving to do certain things to keep the positive flow going! I’m promising to listen to my body and feed it what makes it feel best…to take time for myself, a break from it all, more often. Stay with me on the journey! 2015 promises to be a fabulous new year and I am READY! I begin each day with a big THANK YOU! Arms outstretched, palms up….fingers stretched apart in order to receive all of the goodness life has to offer. Cheers to new beginnings!

Dear Sweet Melissa, you inspired me the first time I laid eyes on you and we chatted like old friends. That continued in 2014 and I believe will reach much greater heights in 2015. I’m so proud of you! Cheers and TaDas to us both in the New Year! Love, Light, and Hugs ~ Kathy
