So this is Christmas

Oh such promises, haven´t blogged here for a while , since last year actually! Why? Christmas got in the way - the work leading up to it and the work over it as the new year arrives....and still there is the day of the Kings to come, Jan 6, another christmas and more gifts. In Spain it carries on for 2 weeks! Do I sound like "Humbug", no it´s not meant to sound that way, I love Christmas, but the cosy family affairs, a fire burning in the grate. Freezing cold outside and everyone warm and happy inside. Small, inexpensive gifts that came with "a whole lot of love". I remember these times from when I was younger and lived in the UK. I haven´t spent a christmas with any of my family for many years, as everyone went their own ways including my parents.

Nowadays its too much money, too commercial and too much stress, I am sure Our Lord would not have wished that. Then what follows is madness ....the sales...and the time to return unwanted gifts. A beautiful gift was given back to me over the table as we finished our meal........I wont wear this! you may as well have it back! A little shocked was I for it was not an ill fitting shirt, nor a fluoresent jumper, but a beautiful hand made silver bracelet chain from Bali. I might add that this person was the boyfriend of someone at the table, who virtually choked on her food when he said this....The bracelet still sits on my table, boxed and unloved. this is what I mean about how christmas has become, and these people offer not a thought for those without.

For all who are alone, ill, sad, hungry or homeless, my wishes are that for you 2010 will be kind and bring you things that you need, and this New Year filled with new opportunities and the light of hope burning in your heart.

For those more fortunate, that have spent a good Christmas and New year, avery Happy New Year and keep the light of hope burning in your hearts.

Finally, Yes I am still awaiting an answer from the publisher on my book....so I am starting the New Year with hope in my heart too.

Happy New Year! Feliz Año Nuevo!

Don´t worry, be happy.

A nice little book available on Amazon with lots of pictures.!

Had friends from the UK staying and havent done so much writing although my ideas are flowing, as usual I group them altogether, to use in the future if not now. I have ideas that flow through my dreams and I remember them clearly the next day, to write down, and sometimes record images. So clear and able to connect to other dreams. I have one bursting to be written, but as I am working on another, it is difficult to allow another to enter my workspace.

It is very positive to be filled with ideas but at times it creates headaches as where and when to place them. No news from the other publisher but I dont worry about it, I am just happy to be able to return to my work. Hope all of you out there are happy.

The girl with Kalidoscope Eyes

Yep, thats me, that how I feel, watching, waiting....hoping, secretly knowing. Afraid someone will lift my words and ideas. God you could drive yourself crazy, haven´t heard anything...yet. But I knew it would be like this. I remember years back had a go at writing romantic novels, you know the kind, innocent sweet maiden, one handsome hunk that fights to win her heart. these 2 novels sit on my shelf, collecting dust. NO; my novel I just completed was not a romantic girl meets hunk. It was more along the spiritual lines. I am quite far into a new one now, although its still very much in the planning chapters and characters, but chapter one is almost ready to go. My headaches have become severe once more, holding me back. Still back to the Neuro and see what is going on. I often wonder about all you nice people out there,reading my one way conversation!!hello to you all

Another Brick in the Wall

Oh my, can it really have been so long? Must have been something bad that I did. Some rotten virus hit me as I opened a webpage that I visit often, and zap! down went my laptop with all the goodies stored on the hard disc with it. Fortuately I had my book on disc, well done! I hear you say, or so I thought................the final edit had not been copied onto disc, silly me. Sooooooo it´s been a time of re editing it once more, and now it´s complete again. The rst of the ideas and artwork has been lost, that will teach me a lesson..I promise in the future to keep copies of everything. "Teach your children well" Well its back to waiting time, what amazes me is it takes 3 months to open the first page and say NO, Oh well "Another Brick in the Wall" and on with the next. So if you continue to visit great and welcome, join me in another marathon of putting words together on paper, and the trials and tribulations of a writer.
