Book News:
I'm delighted to say that my children's book The Origami Nun has received its first review at Goodreads and it's a 5-star one. Many thanks, Bonnie! So glad your grandchildren enjoyed the read.
Turning to slightly different literary matters, the Erato GLBT Treasure Hunt is now taking place, and you can win some lovely prizes, so don't forget to take part! The event ends on 2 July, so there's still time.
In addition, you can find a revisited interview with me at Joo's Interviews - I hope you enjoy the read this time round. And at Vulpes Libris, you can find my review of Karin Altenberg's Island of Wings. An interesting book, but it doesn't quite work as a novel, in my view. Have a read and see what you think ...
Recent meditations are:
Meditation 671
The sense of
satisfaction
when a task is
over
or a job done
well
is worth that
roller coaster ride
you took to get
here
with the tales
you have to tell.
Meditation 672
The silence
between
words and
thought
is filled with
riches
not easily
bought
and the way you
take
through the
shadowy lane
is laced with
singing
beneath the
rain.
Meditation 673
It only takes
one person
in the right
place
at the right time
to change the
world
and it only
takes
one moment
for us to
consent
with a clear
heart
to live our
lives unfurled.
Life News:
Well, after ten days of tricky discussions, during which we have gained new insights into the meaning of the words "malicious" and "posturing" (and some amusement from them...), I'm very happy to say that we're about to be rid of one of the nastiest people in our lives at the moment, double huzzahs and put out the bunting! It's such a relief - even more than we imagined it would be, which is definitely the best way round. Can't say anything more at the moment (except HUGE thanks to the lovely Superstar Duo for today - you know who you are ...!), but we're looking forward to a very relaxing summer, where though we'll be poorer we'll definitely be happier. As they say, it's always good to get rid of the excess baggage. Phew. Bring it on.
