I aspire to inspire….
Days like to today are amazing, and I am so grateful that they come to me so often these days. As I sit at my desk in front of my laptop writing this blog post, I know I am blessed.
My husband has the day off today, because he had to fill in at the Mayfair salon for someone yesterday. He woke me up to go for a drive. We jumped in the car to go and get our Timmies and he drove us all to the beach. The smell of the ocean is intoxicating and so soothing. There are always birds squawking overhead, and today there was a cruise ship just leaving. He knows it is one of my favourite places to go, and the dogs love to run at the off leash park. We let the dogs out of the car and slowly hand in hand meandered around the park. Time with my husband is so incredible, it is like nothing I have ever experienced before.
Now, Max and Misty are curled up on my lap snoring gently, my husband is fine tuning one of his original songs behind me alternating between the keyboards and one of the guitars. His music is so soothing I can’t wait to share it with everyone. He has written and recorded about a dozen songs that will be released as a CD this fall. He has even managed to incorporate his brother playing lead guitar in Ontario into the songs. I heard the first song that Gavin recorded yesterday, after the tracks were added, and although I am biased, it is amazing! These two men are both so musically talented. Links will follow when Cory is ready.
Those who have been following my blog may remember that my step son is moving to Toronto in early September. He is 21 and an amazing young man. Jace will be going to live at my husbands sisters’ home while he figures out where he wants to be and we are very grateful for their generosity! He has alternated between his parents homes for years and it will be hard for both of them to see him go. But, I know they wish him all life has to offer and more. When he announced his decision a few months ago to move out East I wanted to do something memorable for my husband and his son. The other day I found a pendant that I loved, and I knew they would like. The back of the pendants are engraved with “amazing father” and “amazing son”. It was the perfect gift, and I could tell by their reactions that they loved them. These two men have supported each others dreams and created a father/son relationship that I have only read about in books before. The many memories that they share will forever rest in their hearts, but the pendant will give them something tangible to touch and remember that the other is wearing it close to their heart as well.
This week I was blessed to find a blog called Everything Marie that is willing to host a blog tour for both of my books! I was ecstatic! Tiffany has worked with many new authors, and she is also a new author herself, writing under the name Madison Street! I read her debut novel a few months ago when it came out and all I can say is WOW! Little Things by Madison Street is a must read! Go check out her blog http://everythingmarie.com! If you are on Facebook please go give her author page a like www.facebook.com/madisonstreetauthor. I hope you will all enjoy the amazing things she has come up with for the tours! Cherish the Past will be toured in early September, and Live for Today in October!
Next up for today is working on my latest novel. I have a couple more in the works and love having the time to write. There are lots of draws going on right now for free copies (e-book and signed paperbacks) both on goodreads and on my Facebook! This is my way of giving back to those that have been there for me! Please take a moment to enter the draws!
