For another summer-long hiatus:) That’s right. School
is finally out, the kids are home free (which means my freedom is officially out the
door:). Even though we’ve kicked off this summer with a crap load of rain and
the defeat of the French and American soccer teams at the World Cup (booo!), there is still
SO much to celebrate in the upcoming months.
My parents and two youngest siblings are flying over
for a two-week visit, and arriving July 16th. We’ll be celebrating
my daughter Phoebe’s baptism on the 18th and then heading down to
the French Riviera for two weeks of camping on the Mediterranean coast.
And in mid-August, I’ll be heading back to the U.S.
for a brief trip, for my best friend’s wedding, which I am extremely excited
about!
I don’t plan on getting much writing done over the
next two months, but you never know when inspiration may hit! I didn’t reach my
goal of finishing a manuscript before July…but I’m okay with that.
I know I can write a book.
I’ve done it before, and I can do it again. But it
feels almost like now isn’t my time,
and I’m perfectly okay with that, too.
Sometimes you just have to let go and stop trying to
force productivity for pride or ambition’s sake, and just be where you’re meant
to be, doing what you’re meant to do, without judgment or fear.
In any case, here’s wishing all of you a beautiful
summer! See you in September!
