I signed up a new client today for my online marketing services. This one is even more complex because it involves self-publishing his book using the publishing on demand company Lulu.com. After all that work is done, there will be the full range of online marketing services to go through and then possibly some traditional marketing services. I’m eager to dig in!

Now talk about your crazy stories! We were just getting ready for bed last night when one of our friends called. Turns out this little black and white dog wandered into her yard yesterday and she figured out that she was our little Callie. Callie has been missing for over a week! This dog is only 8 lbs and not very desert-wise, so we were certain she was killed by a coyote when she just disappeared. Nope. Turns out she wandered off and got lost and now… she’s back. Our household is now twice as interesting since we also have since picked up a small poodle by the name of Rex. Today will be very interesting as they get to know each other. So stay tuned, I’ll keep you filled in…

Sara felt a lot better today, both physically and emotionally. She’s been dealing with an infection of her parotid glands and that seems to be slowly getting better. She also got a vicious canker sore that prevents her from even drinking orange juice or eating anything even slightly spicy. Damn, that sounds painful. But her energy level was up higher than it’s been in a while and we drove into Tucson to get some art supplies and ink to print more cards and then got groceries in Green Valley. After getting back home, we got some of her cards together and took them and another painting down to the artist’s co-op where she is the Artist of the Month for March! By the time we finally got back home it was almost 3:30 pm and she still had not had to lay down or take a nap. Amazing!

Sara also felt better emotionally and part of that had to do with our talk this morning about possible causes or aggravators of her pain and health issues. We will by no means neglect the physical causes and cures, but we had a long discussion about mindfulness meditation and how the very act of fighting her ill health and focusing on the negative aspects of it can give it so much more power. I will write more about mindfulness in the weeks to come. After all, I AM the peaceful birder!

Here it is, the new facelift, I hope you like it.

Things continue to be good down here. It still gets rather chilly at night, anywhere from the 20s to 40s at night, but it’s been warmer during the day, usually in the 60s or low 70s.

March is a busy month. I will be adding a calendar soon to help keep track of everything. One of my next posts will talk about my new line of work and how that is going.

Stay tuned!
