Spring is nature’s way of reminding us that life always finds a way to bloom again.

April always seems to appear out of nowhere. Maybe because Easter changes each year so it’s hard to anticipate its coming like the other big holidays. Or maybe it’s because you’re never sure if you’ll be hunting (or hiding) eggs in the snow, rain or a lovely mild day. Either way, I love seeing the fresh green on the trees and the pastel coloring everywhere you go. Spring is an awakening where you suddenly notice the world around you after hunkering down in the cold for a few months and everyone seems to be anticipating those glorious warm days to come.

This year, April is going to be busy with bridal celebrations for a family member, visits with my brother and, hopefully, a new release. I’m working hard on getting it finished and I hope you’ll love it as much as I’ve loved writing it. Life seems poised with breathless anticipation of happy change to come and I can’t wait to see what’s around the bend in the road.

Life is full of moments that stick with you (good or bad). I took my half-asleep nephew out of the car to take him inside the house. After wrapping his arms around me and resting his head on my shoulder, he told me ‘I love you. I wish you were part of my family’. I reminded him I was his aunt, so I was part of his family. ‘No,’ he said ‘I want to you to to be a part of my family and always live in my house’. Awww!

My brother’s toddler twins grinned and played games with me while I fed them in their highchairs.

And we attended a kid’s chess competition in Las Vegas where we realized in half-panic/half-laughing in shock/half-horrified that there are half-naked pictures of women…everywhere! Including on the road as we’re driving behind a sketchy truck showing what they were offering and on lifesize posters while walking to our room. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my nephews eyes so big. We had a lot to discuss when we finally made it into the room.

Yep. Moments can be crazy. We’ll be talking, shaking our heads, and laughing about them for years to come. I hope you have some memorable moments of your own that will become memories for the book of your life.
