On logging miles…again.

I’m writing this blog post from the Great Garden State. It feels so good to be back. I made the drive in 19 hours, spread out over two days. Monday night, I stopped at a hotel somewhere in North Carolina. I started the drive cranky and miserable–I’m not sleeping again–but ended it in a cool room with clean, crisp sheets. I got to sleep in and ate a delicious breakfast before hitting the road.

My friend Melanie has been kind enough to let my stay with her and has already treated me to real pizza! The weather was gorgeous and I was able to witness Melanie’s green thumb in action. The garden and her home are both stunning.

Brian, Melanie’s husband, is the KING of social media. Melanie let me follow her around while she worked in the garden–gorgeous. The aforementioned real Jersey pizza!

And there’s more good news; my published posted the cover reveal for Moody Blue, with a release date of July 5th!

I’m not sure if my plans to have a launch party will come to fruition because of the timing, but at any rate, I’m excited to have another book out in the world!

Miracle Maddie

Maddie Girl is STILL doing work. She’s been KILLING IT at therapy. We’ve been seeing more joint rotation, more range of motion in her hips, and we’ve been trying more sensory exercises with her. We’ve been pushing her to complete physical and occupational therapies with her Passy-Muir valve in and she’s been rising to the challenge. She’s also been making INCREDIBLE strides in improving the tone in her feet and legs. She’s so amazing.
