a little reading...

Miracles do happen - I read an entire book on our trip. It’s been years since I’ve been able to pick a book up and read it from cover to cover. So while The Captain drove through a blizzard and Goom watched a movie, I hunkered down with a flashlight and read Kimberlee Auerbach’s the devil, the lovers, and me, My Life in Tarot.

She writes chic-lit memoir –my genre. Her story takes place during a tarot reading. As each card is revealed she takes us back to past lovers and stories about her family, which is right up my alley. So much so that her prologue reads like my essay on visiting Mia, my psychic, for the first time. I kept thinking, why didn’t I think of this set up? But then again, it is a memoir and I didn’t have this experience. At first her descriptions felt a bit pushed but soon she found her voice and I couldn’t stop reading. Thank God because I’m taking a class from her through UCLA that starts next week.

I’m not sure how I’m going to manage it all, full-time job, full-time single mom (have I mentioned BD has decided to stay in New Orleans?), dating The Captain, blog writing, blog reading, errands, chores, class etc but somehow I’ll make it happen. Finishing my book is a priority this year. It is something I’ve been wanting to do but again I can only do so much and if I’m not enjoying any of it I’m doing too much.

So bare with me in the coming months as I juggle a million things. Know that you are always in my thoughts and close to my heart. I will write and read at every opportunity.
