“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”—Albert Camus
(This quote hit me like a brick when I first read it!)
Have a great week and many invincible summers!

Hello and welcome! I’m a writer, runner, reader, runDisney addict, and SCBWI Blogger repped by Stimola Literary Studio. Here’s where I chat about writing, books, life, and my current Extreme Writing Career Makeover. To follow my running adventures, check out my Joyful Miles blog!
It’s going to be a total #pushingthroughpineapples kind of day. So it seemed fitting to take a break from #liift4 and do an #80dayobsession workout while wearing my favorite tank! #itisallgood #itiswhatitis #suchislife #justgetthroughtoday #grateful #countingmyblessings @autumncalabrese @beachbody

Day 5 of my #4amchallenge complete!! #livingmybestlife #yoga #livehappy #beinspired

It wasn’t a good week for me to take on a tough #4am #challenge since I’m dealing with business stress, negative situations, and my youngest son is moving out today. But then again, when is it a good time to improve your life? Only when the stars align in a giant thumbs up, giving you the go ahead? No. The time is NOW and while I’ve had some stumbles adjusting to a new schedule, the benefits have been amazing! Like this morning. After chatting with Bob, #meditation and #journaling I listened to my body and did #yoga on our back deck rather than #Liift4 in our basement and a run. We’ve lived here for over 20 years and this is the first time I’ve tried this? Really? It was the perfect way to start my day, so I’m going to continue with a #4amwakeup and see where it takes me!

My big guy is back at college! Miss him already but I’m so proud of how hard he’s working to reach his goals and it was awesome spending time with him at the beach! ❤️ #wvu #forestry #lovemyboy #family #love #ocmd #oceancity #boardwalk (at Ocean City Boardwalk)
Success!! I’ve been on a hunt for paperbacks from the Cedar Cove series by @debbiemacomber in used book stores for years. (Why used paperbacks? Because I love reading them at the beach. Why not order online? Because finding in person is like discovering lost treasures.) The first in the series, 16 Rainer Drive has been a challenge until my mom found this at Goodwill, woo-HOO!! Now to find the remaining few and my series is complete. #amreading #books #bookstagram #bookworm #reader #lovebooks #beachreads
