Friendship

Friendship by Justina Chen on Polyvore.com
Joy is spending time with girlfriends who make a difference. For 7 years, a few of my friends and I helped non-profit organizations with business strategy as StrataGem. Tonight, we hit the town to watch The King's Speech together, which is a rich testament to friendship and faith (and Colin Firth). That's the hallmark of my Strata-gals...and this collage is for them. Thanks for dancing in the rain with me for all these years...

Kerlan Collection

Just received the sweetest note from the curator of the Kerlan Collection at the University of Minnesota where some of my papers have been archived: an early draft of GIRL OVERBOARD, research notes for NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH (AND A FEW WHITE LIES), and a few galleys of all my novels. I'm going to have to figure out an excuse to get to Minnesota some day soon! AND with any luck, I'll finish my forthcoming novel, RETURN TO ME, soon and can send the Kerlan Collection my very, very, very messy first draft.

My annual ritual: vision boarding with my intention for the coming year. Typically with girlfriends, always with hope. Here it is, Vision Board 2011.

"Maybe that is the power of True Love: that in Love’s strong sweep, the shards of the broken past can be brushed aside to herald a new beginning called Now." --RETURN TO ME
