We Just Want to Celebrate!

What did you do to celebrate Independence Day?

Here in the Midwest, there were small-town parades, fireworks, and cookouts. We decorated bikes, ate potato salad, and listened to Yankee Doodle Pops. Other parts of the country may celebrate in other ways. But whether you celebrate at the beach or in the backyard, poolside or at the park, it’s a chance to pause to commemorate our country’s Independence Day with family and friends. 
It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day of our busy lives that sometimes we forget to pause and celebrate. Holidays remind us to do that.
We’ve had a couple of months of celebrations. There have been birthdays, graduations, dance recitals and weddings. 
Milestones. It’s so important to pause and really celebrate those milestones. To take a moment and thoroughly enjoy them and tuck the memories into the corners of your heart.
Lately, we’ve also had some writing milestones. Book #9, Barking with the Stars, came out. this year and book #10, The Dogfather is slated for an August release. Wow. Book Ten. Of course, we’re crazy busy and working on more books and so we have to remind ourselves to pause and celebrate our Book #10 milestone.

What about you? What milestones big or small have you had recently? Did you take time to pause and enjoy the moment?

Let Freedom Ring!

It’s the 4th of July, and a proper day to feel grateful for all the freedoms our forefathers and mothers granted us. As an American, I’m most grateful for the First Amendment, giving me freedom of speech. As an American writer, I can speak whatever my heart desires in my chosen artistic form, be it fanciful fiction, a memoir of my life experience, erotica, or protests against my government. 


Certainly, the United States isn’t perfect, and it’s all too easy to take our freedoms for granted because we’ve never lived without them. But we all recognize that there are people around the world who wouldn’t dare put their thoughts into words or on paper for fear of reprisal or imprisonment by their hostile governments. 


So today, I’m feeling especially grateful for my freedoms. I hope, like me, you will enjoy your holiday with friends and family and celebrate being an American.
