citizenchip
OK this isn’t helping. I’m crying while I try to load Wil Howitt’s paperback book, citizenchip, into CreateSpace. I miss him. He was an amazing author. His novel is amazing. He was finishing up his second novel and now we’ll never get to read it.

Citizenchip
First task today: Make a paperback version of dear friend Wil’s story, Citizenchip. His family asked me to lend a hand; he passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago and his life celebration is coming up next weekend. Here’s the Kindle version.

Julie
Two days ago Julie sat on my lap on the porch steps. Yesterday she came out of her carrier but Bob had to carry her to the steps. Today she stayed in her carrier so I brought it out to sit by my side. It’s the first day she hasn’t actively come out of it when she saw she could go outside. She sniffed at the air a bit and then went back to sleep. She is fading. We treasure each remaining day. #namaste

Evening meditation time
Evening meditation time. I had a lovely book signing with new authors and treasured friends. I spent time with JulieTheCat enjoying the autumn air. And I finally finished my book on the keys to writing / editing a book. Is that a meta-book? :). #namaste

Evening meditation time
Evening meditation time. Julie is doing all right, the new-to-me car is lovely, and I have a book signing tomorrow. I’m also having so much fun with my monoprint projects. What do you guys see in this image? Besides the quote, of course ;). #Namaste

Debate Night
I’m practicing deep breathing before Debate Night begins. I’m just home from the Worcester CoatsForKids charity event that Bob’s band donated their evening to. It was a powerful reminder that ALL colors of people are deserving of love, respect, and support.
I believe we should never disparage someone for the fact that they were born Hispanic or Black or anything else. The very idea baffles me. How can a person censure another person for the circumstances of their birth? Do any of us control that? And it’s even more mind-boggling to me when the person disparaging is Irish or Italian when, only a generation or two ago, THEIR families were the ones being maligned for their facial features and skin color. Is memory that short?

Evening meditation time
Evening meditation time. I had a wonderfully enriching day. My writing group met for the afternoon and I ran a workshop for my art group this evening on monoprints. Here is one in a series I created celebrating the diversity of our world. It’s an 8-inch round. If someone would like it for $5 plus shipping I’ll donate that money to Doctors Without Borders (charity rating of “A”) #Namaste

Evening meditation time
Evening meditation time. We all share this one precious Earth – it’s unique in all the universe. We should strive to tend to each other and to our home. We are all humans, deserving of respect and love.
#Namaste

Morning Yoga
JulieTheCat helped me with yoga this morning – she slowly explored the yard and I did yoga poses as I walked with her. Beautiful foliage, too. Now I’ve brought her in and she is continually letting me know she deserves to be outside again :). But lots to do today. First up, finish applying for grants so I can run free “how to get published” seminars throughout the area, complete with free books. What are you doing today?

Evening Meditation Time
Evening meditation time. JulieTheCat is feeling much better! I had intended to do my taxes on the back porch while she slept, but instead she wanted me to take her for an hour-plus ‘wander’ in the yard – she loved it! She was sad when we had to go in. I’m so grateful she’s feeling better. #Namaste
