To me, the start of a New Year always feels untouched, like a stretch of newly fallen snow. I love the way the days between Christmas and New Years Day seem to hold their breath, allowing even someone like me, who seems constantly in motion, to stop and rest. I feel refreshed and excited about the adventures to come.
Over the break, I visited Bend and went snowshoeing with my husband, Dave, and our dog, Turley. It was so much fun, I can’t tell you. Turley LOVES snow even more than he loves water, and he’s a Portuguese Water Dog, so you can imagine how much he loves water. He galloped around through snowdrifts and reminded me how magnificent it feels to laugh so hard you can hardly catch your breath.
And now, I’m back from the vacation and ready to dig back into creative work. The From Sadie’s Sketchbook Read Along took a little hiatus over Christmas, but we’re back and raring to go with the third book in the series, Waves of Light. Come join us at www.sadies-sketchbook.com for lively discussion, creative activities and lots of fun! We want to hear from readers like you.
