We had a lovely family Valentine's Day yesterday! It was great to share this day with my lovies, who are the foundation of my heart, and who make me feel like I have a home wherever I am. My darling husband Mike (the love of my life), our adorable children Carson Reyburn (3-1/2) and McKenna Rain (7 months) were the best Valentine's gift I could ever ask for. Just a simple day of playing in the house and taking a nice walk in the sunshine, eyeing the Olympics, doing some home projects and counting our blessings make the day a joy. To top it off, Mike decided to make me dinner: blue cheese crusted fillet Mignon, prosciutto and fresh Parmesan wrapped asparagus drizzled with olive oil, garlic mashed potatoes and a crusty baguette, complimented with a delicious bottle of Malbec and we had ourselves a lovely Valentine's feast after the kiddies went to bed. I really do count my blessings every single day, no matter what is going on, because I have the husband, the children, the FAMILY and the home I've always dreamed of having. Who could want more than that.
And I am thrilled to be continuing on my writing career journey. I'm making lots of major, steady progress towards my first complete novel/memoir centered around Old Hollywood memories and stars... I am so excited about this project that I can just never find enough time around my top priority job (being a mommy) to work on this book. Yet I am finding myself getting closer to the completion of the First Draft every week. I expect to have Draft 1 completed before summertime, and if all goes well my subject/partner on this project and I will be searching for or have landed a major agent by the beginning of this coming holiday season. This force of hope and excitement will drive me to completion...
