Evening meditation time
Evening meditation time. Meditating offers a myriad of benefits – the real question is, why haven’t you begun? 
daily back porch yoga
I enjoyed my daily back porch yoga. My hummingbirds kept me company. Did you know yoga helps with diabetes and blood glucose levels? Add it into your daily list! I have free how-to books, you know :).

Evening meditation time
Evening meditation time. This evening I carefully took photos to create 300+ images of my friend’s ancestor’s Civil War letters. It was the safest way to document them. I’m honored to be a part of preserving history. The poor young man was killed at Antietam. It reminds us how brief and meaningful life is. Each day matters. #namaste

A computer just beat the top human at Go
A computer just beat the top human at Go, our hardest board game. We are approaching the point that computers can out-think us. And then … the Matrix … we’ll be used as human batteries for our robot overlords …

Evening meditation time
Evening meditation time. It might sound illogical, but taking a short break to regain focus actually makes everything go more quickly. You don’t lose the time – you gain time overall. #namaste

medieval novel Finding Peace
So stoked! My medieval novel Finding Peace was chosen for a BookBub promotion on June 11! I’m honored and am now counting the days :).
https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Peace-Medieval-Romance-Glastonbury-ebook/dp/B008FQZ8JY/
If you guys haven’t advertised with BookBub yet I highly, highly recommend it. They’re pricey – my ad run is about $300 – but they vault you into the top 10 of the entire Amazon system and you easily make far more than that in profits.
For those who keep trying and get turned down – make sure you’ve got a solid set of reviews. Next, do you tweak the description and cover before each new submission? If you just resubmit the same thing they turned down it’s likely they’ll turn it down again. I had to tweak my covers and descriptions MANY times before finding the combination they liked. And it’s fair to say these guys know what they’re doing – if they like it, the readers are drawn to it. So tweaking for BookBub is really a lesson in marketing in general. You get instant feedback as to whether it’s right yet or not.

the lymphatic system
Fascinating news – the lymphatic system extends into the brain. It’s most efficiently cleansed when you sleep well, on your side. This can have an impact on Alzheimer’s, MS, and much more –
