It is so good to be back at this screen! I started creating this site in 2011 just for fun. As work and life got in the way, this project got further and further down on the "do for Pat"  list. I am so delighted to be back.

The motivation to get back to this came in the form of a new "do for Pat" item on the list, # 8 "take an online writing course to gain insight and knowledge needed to publish my book". I am now enrolled in the Blogging a Book class with Writer's Digest, and I am starting to roll.

 I must say a great big thank you to all of you who have encouraged me, read my articles, sent them to friends, and always ask for more. I invite your regular feedback as I will be posting the abbreviated content for The Garden, The Paint Brush and The Pen: these are the tools to my reconstruction. To thank you for staying with me, I will add Just For Today items with each post that you can use to reconstruct your life while journeying with me!

Just For Today: Try this creativity booster. Research shows that lying flat on your back can help boost our creativitiy. Try it, and let me know if it works for you!

So please, gather up our friends, all those who you think might benefit from the lessons and enjoy the read, and let's work together to create a wonderfully useful and delightful book.
