All my children were home for lunch yesterday and I love them all but I thought to myself, I thought I was supposed to be alone now. I want to be alone now, which surprised me. Perhaps I should work on allowing myself to just be selfish and see what happens.<br /><br />As for you and your book, it sounds amazing.

I have to tell you that I began writing again about five years ago, after a dead period of ten years (the first ten years of Sophie's life). The writing was rekindled because of a memoir workshop that I attended -- I just started writing again and never stopped; in fact, what I wrote became a book of sorts (although it's stalled at the structuring phase!).Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190519338493655360.post-29492753005356467292010-08-26T10:05:31.498-07:002010-08-26T10:05:31.498-07:00Go for it.

I hope that this year of being selfish turns into an incredibly empowering one for you and your family. So much so that you never turn back and the selfishness becomes an integral part of your awesomeness as a mother and wife and friend. <br /><br />Love you!kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.com
