Mrs. Otis's Surprise package is the first book in my Imagine That series. It is loosely based on a incident in my sister Lorraine's classroom. I have dedicated the book to her and I hope, when it's published, everyone will enjoy the story a much as I did when she first told me. I said a long time ago, "Lorraine, that would make a great children's story." That was over twenty years ago and now it is about to become a reality.  Lorraine, I hope you have been aware of this happening! I'ts thanks to you for the idea.

The book is coming along great.  All the text is finished and I'm cartooning the pics for each page.  Soon I'll send to epub if I can get some of the photo's exactly how I envision them.

Chapter 9 The next chapter in my book of life.

It's 11:23 on Wednesday evening, March 21st, 2012.  Funny, 11/23 has always been special for me since it was the day I was born but I see these numbers a lot. On clocks, when I just happen to look over at it or some one's house number as I drive by. So I'm not surprised at the time tonight. I am starting a new chapter in my book of life. Let me explain. I have always told my husband that I wanted a lot of chapters in my book of life not just one long saga. I've broken down the big events that have happen to me into chapters. Chapter 1: My birth through high school graduation Chapter 2: College years Chapter 3: Teaching Chapter 4: Marriage and children Chapter 5: Colorado Chapter 6: Discovering my 50's Chapter 7: God Given Talents Chapter 8: Florida Chapter 9: Writing & Blogging I'll write a little about each chapter in later blogs but I hope whoever reads them will be able to see the pattern that was set before me and how grateful I am. I live loved; by my God, my Lord and savior Jesus Christ and my partner in life, David Frick.

Feeling overwelmed in knowing what to do next.

Trying hard to understand how to add family into circles.  I've typed in addresses and only one posted.  I'll get it.  Just give me time.

Imagine That

I'm starting a new chapter in my book of life and I want to be able to reach out and share with everyone my journey through Imagine That books.  After retiring from all my jobs and praying for direction, He has given me the inspiration to write a children's book.  I have finished writing it and in the process of putting it into an ebook.  Self-publishing is the way I can accomplish this goal.  The title of my first Imagine That book is Mrs. Otis's Surprise Package and I hope to have a link set up soon that can lead you to it.  I'm learning this as I go so please be patient with me.  I could use your prayers in this attempt.  I'm following where my spirit is leading me and want to serve Him while writing these books.
