An Unexpected Invitation

4/5/2024

Hello blog friends,

Sometimes life surprises us by responding to our unspoken hopes and dreams. Since moving into the Prescott, AZ area two years ago, I've longed to meet other writers. And then I got an unexpected invitation to read from my book, Redemption. What a surprise!

Aside from a bit of apprehension, I am excited to meet the local writers, of which there are many. Prescott is renowned for its arts -- music, theatre, literature, and painting. To be among a few of these talented folks is a soul gift. 

​With much gratitude, I share:

Have a wonderful weekend, dear friends.

Hi,
I'm smiling. This is a part of your dream coming true—new levels, new experiences, flying like an eagle, higher, but still flying. I know you will do well. The door is open; walk in it with the joy and humility that clothe you.
Congratulations!

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
