The Zen of Renewal

So I’ve been re-doing my website, something that’s very overdue. And, yeah, don’t look now, the new site’s not up yet. It’s a huge undertaking, since I’m actually consolidating two websites, and the process keeps leading me down rabbit holes. You know the kind of thing I mean: a sudden need for new covers and blurbs for my books; new graphics for the site; new swag and promo tied to the new graphics,  covers and blurbs; new design choices, etc.  But it’s oddly relaxing at the same time. There’s a certain exhilaration that comes from freeing myself from of the past. But, uh...just don't tell my husband I said that. 

Seriously. I wish I could convince myself that same principle applies to my mother’s dishes and furniture, but nope. I fear I’m doomed to cart them around with me for the rest of my life, because REASONS.

Anyway…
           I figure this is the perfect time of year for starting over, what with the Spring Equinox happening just last week, the drought in California finally being over, my grandson turning one this week,  and so on and so forth. And as I put my house in order—metaphorically speaking, you understand; my actual house would need an earthquake (or possibly a bulldozer) to achieve order—I've enjoyed unearthing the occasional forgotten treasures. Like the video linked below. I can’t actually take credit for putting the video together, but I did collect the pictures and write the copy. It still makes me laugh.

And, given the state the world is in right now, laughter is GOOD!
