Recharging
Right now I am in a car with some portion of my five kids and my dog heading for Disneyland. My husband is our other car with the remaining kids. We’re a caravan of two and beginning our week long journey to Texas.
Yes, Texas.
It’s a new adventure and one that I hope will fill me with inspiration. I’ll be able to write full time there [once we’re settled] and I can’t wait for that! Creating new, compelling heroes and heroines, interesting plots and story lines, and really growing with my craft fills me with excitement!
In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy my kids and husband and Disneyland. It’s a great place to recharge and rekindle the child that lives inside of us all. And boy do I need to recharge and be free of tedium and responsibility for a spell. We all do, don’t we?!
Question of the Day:
Where do you recharge and access the child in you?

Disneyland is always good — we go there 2-3 times a year. The beach is the best place for me. It calms me down and most of the time I’m hyper enough to compete with any child. Miss you already!

When I ride horses with my sisters.
When we were kids, my grandmother made us PB&J sandwiches adding a apple to bag, a canteen of water, we’d set out on horseback for the day, and lounge under oaks, or sit in them, swim in the pond as we disected our young life. As adults and grandmothers now, we still love to take off on horses when we’re all together, with PB&J, an apple, and bottled water, and do the same thing. We’re more cautious about swimming in the ponds, though. And don’t sit in the trees anymore.
When we plan it, I can’t get there fast enough. It renews me everytime. During the worse times of my life, when things were falling apart around me, that’s what we would do. I always return home a different person, stronger, with clearer vision, renewed.
