Today's Message: Changes
For the past several months, many changes have been happening in my life. The main event which has been enveloping all my attention involves my spouse. After two years separation, my husband and I will be officially divorced next month and we are dividing up the household possessions and property. This has taken much time and emotional energy to resolve. During this time, I have had two bouts with bronchitis. Then I wrenched my back and was in a great deal of pain. However, there are things to celebrate. The local educational television KET filmed a spot about my artwork and book to be aired on Kentucky Life at the beginning of next season (Jan 2006). The largest local bookstore is allowing me to do a book signing for Women Emerging Courageous July 31st with several other Kentucky authors and I will be doing a book reading and signing in Oct. at the local library. Needless to say, I haven't been online much lately so please excuse my absence. I hope the changes occuring in your life are helping to move you forward as they are for me. Peace be with you my friends.
