What a pleasure it is to share a friend and fellow writer’s success. As a member of the South Carolina Writer’s Workshop (SCWW) Spartanburg’s Chapter, I have known Nan Lundeen for years. I am proud to say I witnessed, through the group, the inception and development of her new book, Moo of Writing.
Nan Lundeen’s new release book, Moo of Writing, is something you will want in your library. It’s full of helpful advice for writer’s at all levels. The book focuses on the writer as a whole person through writing, relaxation, and meditation exercises.I like to call it mindful writing and I encourage you to pick up a copy on Amazon, iBooks, or Nook.
So proud of my friend. I’m happy to say, “I knew her when.”
Mother’s Day, the traditional time, of year when children of all ages honor their mother through cards, flowers, or special dinners. Receiving such recognition is always a blessing and much appreciated, but on this Mother’s Day, I have something to say to my daughters.
The minute I realized your tiny heart was beating inside of me, my life changed forever, even my world looked different. Everything I did or hoped to do, from the clothes I bought to my career path, centered on the underlying anthem, how will this make my children’s lives better?
Almost thirty-eight years ago God blessed me with two precious daughters. It seems like only yesterday you were young and clingy, wanting mom to make it all better. Happy to wrap my arms around you, kiss your wounds and whisper, “Mommy’s here,” I admit I miss those days, but time stops for no one.
You’ve both grown into smart, strong, beautiful, and independent women, of whom I am very proud. And, although you don’t need, me as much as you once did to kiss away skinned knees or hurt feelings. On this Mother’s Day, I want you to remember I will always be here.
My sweet girls, being your mother brought me a lifetime of joy and has been the greatest honor of my life. Given the chance, I would do it all over again.
I won’t bore you with New Year’s resolutions, I won’t keep.
Instead, I want to thank you, my readers and friends for helping make the Cow Pasture Chronicles a success. 2014 was a year of growth for the Cow Pasture and me. I’m thrilled you decided to be a part of it all and look forward to another exciting year, whatever it may bring. I hope that will include lots of laughter, fun and writing!
To you and yours, may 2015 be a blessed and prosperous new year!
