Life's Passion

Posted: 06/18/2008

As I work with my team getting A Letter to my Sistah ready for print, I think about how fortunate I am.  Not many people get to live their dream.  I’ve always loved writing, telling stories and sparking thought.  I got away from it in my teenage years but was fortunate enough to find my passion again.    And now, my baby, my first book, is in it’s final stages; and, I am back in the saddle again as I pen my first novel.    So far it’s been flowing quite nicely. I actually think this particular story was with me before I was even born!   I catch myself smiling as I pen the outline.  Not because the story is so funny or cheerful, although it has its pleasant moments, but mainly because I’m happy about what I’m doing.   If you could have any job in the world what would it be?  Would you work with your hands?  Would you work with people? Kids?  How about in a foreign country?   Let’s reach beyond money – I’m talking passion. Tell me what your perfect job would be.  And if it’s not what you’re currently doing right now – then why?     Hugs, Kisses & Chocolate,     Regina rfross13067@yahoo.com

Ready, Set, GO!

I’m amazed at how things have taken off this year!  With A Letter to my Sistah finally in print, we’re set to take off on another exciting journey!  Little did I know things would take off with such a blast!  Already we’re in the process of planning the book release party.  Though I have been unable to come with a secure date, we were fortunate enough to find the perfect venue!    Mbellish is a darling little tea room located in Devon, a quaint little section of Milford. It’s the perfect place for Ladies’ Tea. I’m so excited!  If you get a chance, check it out at http://www.mbellishtearoom.com/ .  Let me know what you think!   In addition to the book release, there are so many other projects in the works; the novel, the clothing line, the seminars, etc.  It’s getting crazy! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you stay on top of the game!    Hugs, Kisses & Chocolate!   regina
