Today, I’m #grateful for my grandmother, Grace. She passed away when I was in my early 30s, but her influence on me has never diminished—she lived an example of unfailing #kindness and #compassion. #tbt (pic from July 1982, Deerfield, IL).

"Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do anything about it. It means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on letting out the energy behind it."

It's a moment that never gets old. Since my 1st novel OBSESSED was released from Dell in 1991, receiving a #book with my name on the cover has never been less than a giant thrill.
It's a dream made real.

Today, I'm #grateful for the voice social media gives us and ask for wisdom in knowing when and when NOT to use that voice. "Make me a channel of Thy peace, that where there is hatred, let me sow love, or at least not fertilize the hate with my dainty bullshit." (Anne LaMott)

They are encumbrances, but also pure joy.
They can be annoying, but also endearing.
They require time and energy, but return unconditional #love and comfort.
They are the children who never grow up.
They are our hearts. #gratitude #dog #rescuedogs

When racism, paranoia, and "get off my lawn," combine with deadly force. I watch a lot of true crime, but this #Netflix documentary, THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, stands out as one of the hardest to watch. Seen it? What are your thoughts?

As the great Nina Simone sang,
“Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me…”
