OF COURSE...

6/4/2015

I spoke with a life coach yesterday, sharing my excitement about a variety of things, including the launch of my debut novel PAINTING LILY.  

Her response to me was "don't be so excited."

WHAT?  That flew in the face of my usual approach to life.  OF COURSE I am excited.  Why wouldn't I be?  Or more direct to her comment, why shouldn't I be?

What she said next blew me away.

"Getting so ridiculously excited makes it sound like you are surprised that everything is going so well.  OF COURSE the book is becoming a reality.  OF COURSE you are meeting with success in the other areas of your business and personal life.  Why are you surprised?"

Talk about a life changing way of looking at the world.  So yes, I am still excited, but I am also learning to say OF COURSE more often.  And when I do, I hear it as a code word for two other favorite words of mine.  THANK YOU.

Thank you to each one of you who has already pre-ordered a copy of PAINTING LILY.  Thank you to each one of you who has provided support and encouragement to me along the way. 

Now let's party on June 14 at the launch party.  

Will we have fun?  OF COURSE we will!

dearest Mimi,
I am SO HAPPY for you. I read your latest post somewhere post-midnight last night and the words kept coursing through my head. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. Please save me a copy and I'll be there "not too far out" (maybe June 26th? - my next scheduled trip to Falmouth) for the direct handoff. Not to mention THE HUG(S) to be exchanged.

I read and reread your most recent blog postings. Yeah, sometime back into 2014 - and all of which I'd read already at least once. I find you late at night and it is a joy. AS IS LOVING YOU. Be safe, be well. I'll see you anon. b.

...And the Redoubtable Anna continues both busy and being - well - redoubtable? OF COURSE.

In this season of dance reviews, she is ever more present on my mind and always in my heart. Not to mention visually as I glance at the Williamsburg Mkt postcard propped right there! Yeah, it's the stuff of which museums are made - and did I mention household clutter? Come, smile with me. love. b.
