    The first stop on this week’s tour is at the super cool Pink Fluffy Hearts Blog please check it out here. Thanks.

    In the meantime I’ll be playing DJ Ms. Jackson this week. Let’s start it off in the TTL theme with a little Duran Duran and Girls on Film. Enjoy!

    Wednesday High Tide Flashback

    This Wednesday it looks like we’re flashing back to just a couple of weeks ago and yet another coming rain/snow/wind/ oh to the noes! storm. So it’s time to gather the wood and charge up all the chargeables because in my neck of the woods once the winds get high you never know what could happen. I tell you Sandy shook me and good.

     

    Here’s to hoping it’s all smooth sailing and low tide where you are. Since I’ve been singing this one since yesterday, (well, since 7th grade really) I thought I’d pass it on to you now. Take us out Blondie. Enjoy.

     

    Best,

    Starting with Why?

    my book 2 deadline and feeling like a real gah! “author, author.” I was near tears though, happy ones after practically gutting my poor brooding hero. You see for some reason I found it necessary to put the man quite through it and I was so happy for it. A hot ready to pull my hair out over the emotional changes that I had made mess, but in the end happy because I knew the story would be the better for it. Because you see for me, a good romance is all about the character’s emotional journey.

    But then, not long after in some sort of divine conformation, my son came to me all excited about this TEDx video that he saw and wanted to share with me about Why and succeeding in the work that you do and how that can transfer into consumers believing in you and your message. I’d like to share it with you today. And leave you with the question: Is your Why lined up with your What?

     

    All the best,

    Happy 200th Birthday Pride and Prejudice!

    I’m still deep in the writing cave and can barely come out to see the sun (if there was some sun). Though as much as I’d like to spend the day with a full on Pride and Prejudice fest and go all in with my double DVD collection to celebrate the 200th birthday today, I just can’t. So that said, I’ve made do with this fun video while I enjoyed a warm bowl of soup for lunch today. If you have 10 minutes click on and enjoy.

     

    And really the warm soup and Firth’s long looks were just want I needed to get me through to the next page. Thank you Miss Austen.

     

     

    Have a great day!

     

    All the best,

    Fine Leather Goods…

    I’m so feeling the need for a Treat Yo Self day, even if that day is treating myself to a day in bed. But alas, I am under deadline so I don’t see that day happening for at least a month so I’ll be making due by living through Tom and Donna from Parks and Rec.

    If you had a day what would you Treat Yo Self to?

    Feeling Careless…

    …On this cold Tuesday afternoon, but George’s suit and hair are helping me to focus my thoughts. I’m also writing a whole different script for this video in my head all these years later. Way more fun!
