I had planned to post yesterday, since it was my birthday and I thought that a good time to mention new goals. But...life has been a little...um...complex this week. Actually, the last ten days or so, ever since the layoffs. And this week Rachel has been ill with her annual spring "let's see how congested I can get" frolic. I missed much of yesterday at work, and I need to go tonight to my mom's and help more this weekend. Kim and Phyllis deserve a raise for all they've done to help.
Yesterday, I appealed to my editor for an extension on the book, so now I can focus on getting my sessions ready for Blue Ridge, finish a contest, and work on the weak spots of the book.
The good news of the week was a pat on the back from the Lories. :) I finalled in the From the Heart Romance Writers "Best Proposal" contest - AKA "the Lories." Competition is tough, but it does put my work in front of an interesting group of folks for the final judging.
So...as it is with a lot of life, good flows alongside the bad. Time to count blessings.

Go, Ramona!
I am very proud of you. Your accomplishments always amaze me--and remind me that I'm not the only one with an overflowing desk and monitor.
One of these days, we're gonna have to celebrate all His accomplishments through us TOGETHER!
Praying you through,
Marti
