That Moment
When did you know you wanted to be/do whatever it is your being/doing now (career-wise)? Did you find it or did it find you?

Bits
Me, who never gets sick (the over-the-top immune system is part of the reason I have MS), has come down with the creeping crud.
Nothing major, just mild icky-ness.
So I’m going for a themed Bits this week! 
1) When you’re under the weather, is there a food that perks you up?
2) Do you tend to suffer in silence or does the whole house know you feel bad?
3) Chicken soup or something else?
4) Sure-fire way to feel better?

A Whole New View
Check this out!
It’s a clickable map of Heavenly, the fictional town in my Amish Mysteries. I’d been trying to find someone to draw this for me for weeks. And then, after a call-out on my FB page, an old high school classmate contacted me and said her daughter could draw.
I sent my thoughts (and chicken scratch drawings) to the daughter and…voila! My map.
If you hover your cursor over various buildings, you see a verbal description. But if you actually click on each one, you get a close-up view...

Making Things Easier
Posts are going to be spotty this week due to a painfully slow internet connection that is making me want to throw my computer against the wall (which I can’t do).
But since I’m here today, quick question:
What would you like to seeinvented–to make an aspect of life easier?

Is It Summer Yet?
The whole sick-of-winter thing is getting pretty strong around here these days. So, I’m going with a warm weather Bits today (wish fulfillment).
1) If you woke up tomorrow and it was suddenly 75 degrees, what would you do with your day?
2) Favorite summertime drink?
3) Favorite summertime food?
4) Someplace (in the states) you’d like to visit one day?

Dearest…
Okay, I’ve got a fun (and short) writing thing to throw out today…
Either write the opening sentence of a love letter to a fictional character (your choice, any book, any author)…or write the opening sentence of a love letter from a fictional character.
Be creative. Bonus points if you make us laugh!

Curious
How about some questions, today?
1) Have you ever gone sled riding on something other than a sled (or your bottom)? What?
2) What was your most ingenious hiding spot for a vegetable you didn’t want to eat as a kid?
3) Favorite cartoon as a kid?
4) Where were you during OJ’s slow car chase down the LA freeway?

Name Your How-To
If you had to write a how-to book, what would it be about?

My Spot
Everyone has an away-from-homespot–a place where they feel happy, at peace, cozy, etc. The kind of place that makes them smile just thinking about it…
For me, Disney is one of those places. I feel genuinely happy and at peace when I’m there. Always have. Always will.
The beach (preferably around dinner time when it’s almost empty) is another one of those places for me. I love the coolness of the sand in the early evening, the wide open beach, the smell of the salty air, all of it… 
Strangely eno...

Rested Bits
With my self-imposed hiatus from writing drawingto a close come Monday, I find myself a bit more rested (a very good thing), a bit more motivated (amazing what personal goals push to the forefront when you get a taste of life outside work), and far more determined to carve out more pockets ofme-time on a semi-regular basis.
So, it’s probably not a surprise that today’s Bits & Pieces arefashioned along those lines…
1) If you were to set aside 3-4 hours each week for some just-you time, what woul...
