Yes, I can still do this. Maybe. Um…I don’t think so.
I am now in San Antonio on my tour for A REMARKABLE KINDNESS. The response has been fabulous. People are quite excited to read the book and hear about how I wrote it.
I am sharing the message of the dragon fly who flits from animal to animal, trying to find someone to celebrate with. But each animal is grumpy and complaining about something. Why are you so happy? a pig scratching itself on a post asks.
“Because I only get to live for one day.”
I don’t know if that is true for dragon flies, but I do undertand the lesson. We are only here for one day, as far as we know, this day is all we have. And the photo above is taken from my article that just appeared in kveller.com. You can go to the site here: http://www.kveller.com/why-im-glad-my-mom-let-me-grow-up-a-tomboy/
Next stop: OMAHA. Join me at the Bookworm on November 4 at 7 PM.
