    Charged

    Hi folks. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and all the moms out there got to celebrate either as big or as small as you wanted. I had a lovely low-key day with the DH, The Dear Twins and Jack that started with breakfast in bed and ended with a late night snack in bed. Yeah I’m sure I’ll be paying for all the indulgences later.

    On Saturday I went downtown to a very nice restaurant on 57th street for our NYC annual May Brunch. This year is our 25thChapter Anniversary and we were greeted at our place settings by these pretty little maids.

     

    As an added bonus we had the best guest speaker, New York Times best selling Paranormal and Romantic Suspense author, Caridad Pineiro. Caridad was kind enough to share with us her advice for making it as a writer in this business. She was so uplifting and inspirational. It was a terrific afternoon. You can checkout Caridad at her site here.

    Now I’m charged and ready to tackle the week. I hope you’re ready too.

    Best,

    Kwana

    Two Reasons

    What’s Jack up to? Well Jack has been such the Jackster and then some lately. Darting all around and barking at just about everybody (don’t ask me what’s up with that) that dares cross his path.  Seems the little dog has quite the ‘tude.

    But he’s tipping around the corner and onto the blog today to wish you all a Happy Friday and to say

    Happy Mother’s Day!

    to all the mom’s out there. We’re both hoping you have a joy filled weekend.

    Let It Be With You…

    What a morning this is. I woke up and said to my husband, “Welcome to a changed world.”  Now we don’t know how much it has changed or how, but we can only hope and pray it’s for the better.

    Last night I sent this tweet:

    “Tonight I’ve gone back almost 10 years in an instant. Wish I could go back 11 to moment of Peace. 9/11 will never be forgotten.”

    I know it’s naive, the going back part. We can never go back as we can never truly forget. So I’m going for PEACE.

    Royally Thankful

    Thanks so much to all of you who hopped over to Heroes and Heartbreakers and read my “If Only For A Day”  post.  

    So today is the big day? Did you watch the royal wedding or did you sleep in? What did you think? Wasn’t Kate lovely? How about that dress? So very Grace Kelly. Commoner to Princess.

     

    I’m wishing the couple all the happiness in the world. If the start is any indication it should be a wonderful marriage.

     

     I sure wish I were over there to pick up a tea towel as a souvenir. That would be fun huh?

     

     

    Now, I wanted to give you all an update on my freelance twitter and Facebook project. The Loft on twitter and Facebook will be no more after next week now that the parent site Heroes and Heartbreakers is up live and partying hard. So to that The Loft is consolidating with Heroes and Heartbreakers so please for some good romance bookish convo follow Heroes and Heartbreakers on twitter @heroesnhearts and on Facebook at http://ow.ly/4HzCI.

  • Knitting,  my view

    Knit Wednesday

    I kinda wish with all the Royal Wedding hoopla my little group was knitting here just for this week. I know all the coverage is over the top and I’m getting pretty over it. But I will admit that come Friday I will be watching along with the rest of the world to seewhat Kate is wearing and I’ll probably get a little choked up when the couple take their vows. And I too will wish them well and a happy ending.

    For more on the wedding check out my post up today over at Heroes and Heartbreakers.

    Best,

    Kwana
