Still Rinda here! I was tired of facing those big, green peepers of mine every day. 😉 It’s good to freshen things up now and then. Today, I had lunch with writers who happen to be some of my closest friends. Really enjoyed myself. I love these ladies like crazy. Two of them, Sarah Wilson…

Dream Goals Take Patience
“Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Sometimes, we all need a kick in the backside. Yesterday, it was me. Spent all day frustrated. It was my own fault. (Okay, partly–some of it was waiting for someone in my payjob and I’m terrible at waiting.) But the down deep part of…

Even though I’m going to read it and suffer through a bit of that envy bug this author inevitably passes… and then wonder…
