I probably should have said this last week, but I’m trying to wean myself off the shoulds — I’m taking a micro blogging break over the holidays while I dig into the chapters I’m currently writing. Can i just say for the record that writing a book is challenging and hard. It’s also amazing, don’t get me wrong, but these days I’m getting a daily derriere kicking as I mine my healing journey for nuggets of wisdom. The irritating who do you think you are? voice is having so much fun with me, it’s not true. When authors quip they put ‘blood, sweat and tears’ into their book they’re not kidding. When this book reaches your hands just know that you’ll be holding a little piece of my heart – seriously.
In other news, I’m sad I haven’t had more time to do the #Reverb10 prompts because they’ve all been fabulous! Perhaps when I’m deep in procrastination mode I’ll pull one out to blog. I’ll definitely be back next weekend for a Wobble update (reindeer costume, people!), and also for New Year’s Eve because I’m excited to share my word for 2011.
In the meantime, some links to peruse if the holidays are making you crazy… consider my blog a safe haven of linkie love :) Happy holidays, everyone! xo

Thanks for the links.. I LOVE the video I find it really amazing to be able to see the world through someone else’s eyes and heart, I found myself wanting to stop it and get the story behind it many times.. love the peeks into what looks like collage and visual journaling too!
I can’t wait until the day when I have your book(s) in my hands! <3 Happy Holidays xo.

I absolutely adore the photograph of your colourist. Talk about a beautiful woman – and you encompassed that essence of beauty so perfectly in your photo! Capturing that inner beauty is a talent possessed by very few :)
New Goal for 2011 – get myself a hair colorist! Happy
Wobbly Holidays Susannah!
