I think life is all about learning to function without fear. I have been so fearful in the past, about any and everything I could imagine. But you know how they say whatever you focus on, you draw to you? If so, better to focus on the good I want to draw to me and also to my kids. For someone made as I am, its a constant challenge! xo37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-63369451250567575942014-09-12T09:22:53.488-04:002014-09-12T09:22:53.488-04:00When we take risks and follow our dreams, we teach...When we take risks and follow our dreams, we teach our children to do the same. Just like you are. It certainly sounds like your son and daughter are living their 20's well! And you have such a gift for seeing the beautiful things in the people around you.

You ...Elizabeth, you just tell their story I think. You channel it almost. The hard part is getting the whole story with enough detail and anecdote and emotion and character to sustain a whole book. But basically you're just trying to help them realize their intention for the book. It's still writing so once you know the story you're trying to tell it can be immensely satisfying. I'm not there yet. I'm still in the "holy shit, what did I get myself into" stage. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-55528797583411189532014-09-12T06:59:18.041-04:002014-09-12T06:59:18.041-04:00Steve, yeah, I thought the same thing but he's...Steve, yeah, I thought the same thing but he's been to the city before and was also here for two weeks before they went to Philly and New Orleans, which was apparently a wild and crazy time, and now all his friends were all back at work and I suspect his funds were low. The city was also brutally humid and hot last week and we had AC. Plus I didn't bother him at all. I was mostly working. They did all go out in the evenings after my son came home from work. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-33184848464852067272014-09-12T06:53:03.618-04:002014-09-12T06:53:03.618-04:00Ms Moon, he has a rocker heart.

And the ghost writing sounds so intriguing! I have always wondering "how" it's done -- am curious how you remove your own voice and take on another. It might be sort of like acting, perhaps? Or even translating?

It's great that you bonded so well with your visitor, but I have to wonder why he'd rather hang out and watch "The Office" than go see New York City. I'd be out and about every day if that were me. Or maybe he's been there many times before.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-50773611203824086362014-09-11T21:12:31.582-04:002014-09-11T21:12:31.582-04:00Of course I would love that boy.

Which is probably why I love you and your family so much. <br />Light, light, light. <br />Love. <br />Sigh. Goodness.
