I know that everyone is feeling as if life is speeding up. Winter flew by and we’re already half way through spring of 2012. I’m not certain where the months are going. For most of this year I’ve been doing revisions on my novel and building my business. It was hard to make time to train in figure skating and even harder to make room for my personal...
I know it’s been two months since I’ve written on this blog. I’ve been working on my fiction novel preparing it for publication. My writing skills, emotions, and even physical endurance have gone into being the best that I can be at making my biggest dream come true – becoming a published fiction writer with her book on the shelves. There have been times after...
Pink tree blossoms have bloomed all over Sacramento. The sun is shining and though I know that it’s still winter it feels like spring on this Valentine’s Day. Yesterday I spoke with my editor about the changes I will make to my fiction novel. There’s a vulnerability that comes with being a writer. Ernest Hemingway said it best, “There is nothing to...
I received my first check as a fiction writer this past weekend. It was an exciting moment. This was the biggest dream I wanted to come true and here was more proof that I accomplished my goal. There’s a tremendous amount of work ahead, but I’m thrilled to do it. I’ve also started researching the travel I would like to do to complete more of the...
The Patriots are taking on the Giants in the Superbowl this weekend – Go Patriots! Four years ago they played each other. It was supposed to be the end of the perfect season for the Pats. All signs said they would win throughout the whole game, but then in the last minute they lost. The perfect season record was gone. I’m a die hard Pats fan, but what hurt...
Over the holiday I had the chance to complete one of the dreams on my list – to skate in Rockefeller center at Christmas time. I was in New York visiting friends and meeting my agent and editor for lunch. I brought my skates and went to the rink excited to finally make this dream come true. Over the years I had watched the greatest skaters in the world perform on...
On the first day of 2012 I took a moment to breathe. I sat by the river near my house and stared at the blue sky for almost two hours. I watched as people ran or walked past me on the path each one saying, “Happy New Year. I’m starting my New Year’s Resolution.” I thought about resolutions and the beginning of a new year and how many people...
Yesterday I flew to Boston to be with my family for the holidays. There’s something about flying that’s calming to me. Maybe it’s the fact that I have to sit still for hours with no place to go so I don’t feel guilty about watching movies or daydreaming. During this flight, I finally found the space to take in all that has happened in the last few...
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve updated this blog. After signing my book deal with Simon and Schuster I found I went through many emotions: numbness – my brain couldn’t comprehend what had happened; excitement – where I couldn’t sit still; the need to be domestic – I cleaned, bought new sheets and housewares, and I even decided...
On November 4, 2012 my biggest dream came true. Though it’s the 64th dream I’ve completed on my list of 101 Dreams Come True it’s the number one thing I’ve wanted most of my life. I signed a book deal with a major publisher for my women’s fiction novel. For almost a week I’ve walked around in a daze oscillating between sheer joy and a...
