Happy Cinco de Mayo! I am SO happy it’s a decent holiday to celebrate. Not that excuses are needed. I just feel it more when the rest of the world is in on the celebrating. More excitement in the air, similar to that feeling prior to a thunderstorm; lots of negative ions.

I had lunch with a person that is now becoming a good friend. He’s great to lean on for support and good thoughts. And there are NO STRINGS. I love that care free feeling. Him and I are in the same line of work and interestingly enough, have the same feelings and opinions. I find this great, that there are others out there that feel along the same lines as I do. Of course that is always a great feeling to encounter, thus how friendships are born.

After leaving any sort of discussion with this friend, I always seem to ponder certain things in my life, such as what I should be doing, what I want to be doing, and what interests me. On the car ride home, I was stuck on one word: creativity. So, with the music blastin’ and my windows rolled down, I thought long and hard about this one word. I have always wanted to write a book. Not sure where I will go with it when I sit down, however, I always wanted to be a published author with a few books under me. A personal goal of mine for the past 20 years or so.

I should get in the habit of taking a voice recorder with me at all times. There are numerous times I develop this incredible concept, only to have it forgotten when I finally have the time to write anything down.

I recently discovered that SARK is going to be in Massachusetts, which is in driving distance. She will be doing a three-day conference on her upcoming book, ‘Juicy Pens Thirsty Paper.’ I would LOVE to attend this conference. I feel it is what I need to give me that kick start. Unfortunately, funds are an issue right now, and I do not find myself able to attend.

I know I should have posted this blog a bit ago, in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. However, I am proving a point that I have been writing, just not posting. I’ll get on a good schedule soon enough. ; )
