Labor Day is like another New Year to me. It’s when school starts and that always seems like a fresh beginning.
Since this is a holiday, I’ll post on several short bits that I’m thinking of right now:
First, China, the little elder dog Nick and Adair plan to adopt. She visited last night and here she is (right)
with Nick — cute, huh? And, oh, I just got another one: this (left) is China with Adair (there is some family resemblance…).
Let’s see, what else? Oh, I’m seeing what thick skin it takes to blog. I just read and responded to a comment on the post I did about foie gras and the commenter suggested that I was a “neo-Nazi.” Good grief: I don’t care if somebody disagrees with me, but the name-calling is really nasty. I guess I should count my blessings, though: a friend of mine who blogs actually has a guy making physical threats. The anonymous nature of the ‘net seems to be endangering the fine art of dialog, sharing opinions, and talking things out.
I spoke yesterday at Unity of New York City and it was such a lovely going around/coming around homecoming. The first church I spoke at with Living a Charmed Life back in May was Unity Temple on the Plaza in Kansas City. I joined that church when I was nineteen. I joined the church here in New York four years ago. It was so fitting, then, that the tour started where my journey started and ended where I am now.
This is also the day that the campaign for Living a Charmed Life is ending. The site, www.victoriamoran.com/charmed, will go down sometime tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 8), so if you’d still like to get the downloadable gifts from Jennifer Louden, Barbara Stanney, John Gray, etc., you’ll need to buy your book via that site now.
All these endings are also beginnings for me: going forward, working on the next book, planning a couple of teleclasses, and experiencing the joy of being astoundingly healthy and feeling more alive in profound middle age than ever in my life before.
Let me know what sorts of things you want to see in this blog going forward. I’ll comply to the best of my ability. Several times a week I will have to respond to the “news of the day” — the pop culture or political stuff that’s getting a lot of search engine action. It’s the surest way to grow this blog and keep its readership up to Beliefnet standards. But there’s also time to do just what you ask for, so let me know what makes you happy.
