Although the sun is not friendly to me, big hats and long sleeve shirts help me enjoy my love of nature. Its good to be able to see you once again Mary Alice. We enjoyed a moment once before at Costa when Last Light came out. I feel like I am seeing a friend every time I pick up one of your books.Elizabeth Daughtryhttp://www.yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347243279318294019.post-5140778703975289252015-05-20T10:52:56.884-07:002015-05-20T10:52:56.884-07:00What an honor it is to share my novels with others...What an honor it is to share my novels with others.

My moments of living in the present, slowing down and "grabbing moments" include parks visits, backyard playtime in the sprinkler, digging in the dirt, and swinging long after the time we should have gone in to get ready for dinner/bedtime. Slowing down with them makes me happier and calmer--strangely-- even though the monstrous to-do list looms in the back of my mind.

She broke into spontaneous dance when she heard the music playing through the speakers outside. I don't ever want to be so busy or in such a hurry that I don't have time for a two minute dance party!Angie Mizzellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491859463868998896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347243279318294019.post-34359672677860437662015-05-12T08:01:33.416-07:002015-05-12T08:01:33.416-07:00How I grab moments for myself during those long he...How I grab moments for myself during those long hectic days of summer is escaping into your world of fabulous stories where it takes me away even for a short time and decompresses me to go back into the grind of daily life refreshed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
