Thank you for joining me for a coffee and a chat today.
If we were having coffee I would tell you…the boys are back! We had breakfast Sunday at our regular place! We needed a bigger table since there were 4 of us and our waitress saved one for us which was lovely. It turned out to be a crazy day of events with driving to the airport and traffic which required me to hand off the meeting I was supposed to host to someone else.
My air conditioning unit died on Tuesday and my son saved the day with a unit a friend had and wasn’t using. He came over with a different friend to deliver it too! So I got to chat and have dinner with them as well. Chris and I watched the first Mad Max as the beginning of the quest to watch the whole series. It was a good evening.
If we were having coffee I would tell you….today is the beginning of the third quarter of the year! I am planning this year in quarters and I love it. It is the first time doing this and it feels like it is working beautifully.
If we were having coffee I would tell you…..all last week I treated myself to a writer retreat. I spent one night at an Airbnb and attended an author event in Franklin, Indiana. The rest of the time I spent at home; happily planning, reading, walking, and writing. (I will post a Substack with more details about what I did.)
Part of my planning requires an answer to a question for you.
If we were having coffee I would tell you…I am planning a virtual writer retreat in September! More details are coming soon. I am planning many exciting things coming in the future.
If we were having coffee I would tell you…July 1 marks my Oma’s birthday. I always miss her on this day. She was important to me for more reasons than I can ever write about.
If we were having coffee I would tell you…July is about less social media and more reading. I am over being my own worst distraction from the work I need to be (and love) doing.
If we were having coffee I would tell you… I am reading the book I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself: One Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure in Paris
This memoir is smartly written and not what I was expecting. I have been reading it to the point my eyes won’t stay open anymore!
If we were having coffee I would tell you… Thank you to those participated in the FREE 10-minute Creativity Challenge. I hope it was valuable to you in some way.
Thank you for joining me for coffee today.
I would love to hear something from your week and a question you would like me to answer!
