Happy Easter & March Into April (Contest)

Sunday, March 31st, 2024

UPDATE: The winner is…Jackie Wisherd!
*~*~*

Before I get started with the end of month rundown,
Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

March

Work-related:

1. I completed work on What Happens in Bozeman (Book #3 of We Are Dead Horse, MT) and published it!
2. I began work on Tyson’s Mission, my next Brotherhood Protectors book!
3. I continued to read short stories for inclusion in my upcoming Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology.
4. I completed 3 editing projects for other authors in March.

Health-related:

1. I haven’t done well taking care of myself this month. I ate too many salty, fatty foods and didn’t monitor my blood pressure!
2. My sleep suffered this month, likely because of diet and lack of exercise.
3. The only good thing I did was drinking one cup of Turmeric tea a day.

Happiness-related: 

1. I continued working on the #the100dayproject art challenge.
2. Here are some examples of art projects I completed in March.

 

April

 For work-related, I plan:

1. To complete writing Tyson’s Mission, my next Brotherhood Protectors, book, which releases on April 23rd!
2. To complete 4 editing projects in March!
3. To finish reading and selecting stories from among the submissions for the upcoming collection—Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology!

For health related, I plan:

1. To start back on my Weight Watchers diet, because it’s time to get serious! I HAVE to get back in the saddle!
2. To reduce salt and processed food, and incorporate foods good for blood pressure (spinach, broccoli, bananas) and my liver (apple cider vinegar, flax seeds, sunflower seeds).
3. To begin daily workouts using my recumbent bike and some chair yoga exercises.
4. To take my BP every day and log it!

For happiness-related, I plan: 

1. To continue #the100daychallenge where I’ll be painting something every single day!
2. To spend time with extended family during the ECLIPSE!

   Thanks for sharing your artwork, Delilah. They always make me smile. Now that the weather is warmer I’m going out to places where I can read in the sunshine.

   I am planting my garden. I was just out visiting my tiny patch of asparagus and garlic. I will visit it everyday through the fall and into winter and I will feel so much joy and peace. Even if I had a squirrel trying to dig up my pea seeds today. Naughty squirrel.

   I wish you continued success on your TO DO list above. I want to get back to writing, to organize my time better, to read another Lincoln/Child book to my sister, and try to do some art projects. Oh–and to get back to building my website which has taken the biggest hit in the time delay department.

   I plan on doing some ARC reading for authors I normally read. Health wise just try and eat better. Your To do list is great and I wish you the best of luck with your goals.
