It’s about another month since I last
posted a blog… still off the grid a bit. For one thing, my computer was acting up
and running so slow, I thought I’d lose my mind. I finally got the computer
cleaned up, but still stayed off as I’ve been cleaning out
closets and drawers while doing the September Minimalist Challenge. September 1st
you are to get rid of one thing, September 2nd, two things, etc.,
and by the end of September, you will have gotten rid of 465 things. That’s
some cleaning out, let me tell you. My little sister is going to have a garage
sale on Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11, where I’m hauling all my
goods to her place to sell. Any monies made I’m donating to my favorite
non-profit. I’ll post more details later.
If you’re looking for some old time

Festival on Saturday, October 4, in Washington, MO where she will be demonstrating
spinning yarn on a spinning wheel and other things that have to do with fiber.
Her and my youngest daughter are Fiber Freaks. Seriously, they sheered a sheep

Next on the list, if you’re a writer
and in the St. Louis, MO or surrounding area, you may want to attend The Write
Direction Conference on Saturday, October 18 in Columbia, MO. I’ll be there
with one of my writing critique friends.

weekend following, I’ll be heading to Minnesota for a spiritual seminar. It
will be totally awesome and I can’t wait.
