I did it! I pitched my memoir about Courtney and our family's journey and the editor asked for a partial (Synopsis, TOC and two chapters)! I am stunned! I didn't throw up but I had to breathe deeply so I wouldn't get emotional talking about Courtney. Now I have to get back to work and send her some good stuff.
Since I have been in New Jersey, I was able to reconnect with a dear friend from our Navy days (Hi Charlene!!). She met at the hotel for drinks and dinner and it felt like we were sitting on our front porch on B Street and no time had passed at all. That's the sign of a true friend. When you can get together even after years apart, and it feels like you saw them last week. She is quite a gem.
I love coming home after traveling. The house is clean (thanks guys!), and my daughter missed me so she is ready to snuggle with Mom. Plus, I get to sleep in my own bed! Life is good!
