"Your future lies before you
Like a shining path of snow.
Be careful how you tread,
For every step will show."

Re the above quote, I ran into a cute little book published in 1950 called "Yours Till Niagara Falls: A Book of Autograph Verses." We just got a foot of snow here in Wisconsin. I'm new to this area, but the locals say so much late snow is unheard of . I love the snow, but not driving in the slush and ice.

I've finally moved onto the writing path for good, I hope. I'm doing professional grant-writing and consulting. I'm also moving forward on my novel. Yoga is another love, but it's a lifestyle. I still teach - and love every minute of it - but yoga is showing me myself, and it's time to write and do other kinds of good in the community, like bringing money to this adorable little Wisconsin town that I love so much.

If you want to write, I urge you to join Camp NaNoWriMo for the online support. It's free. So many people want to write, which makes sense. Part of our heritage - the caveperson in us - wants to relay stories and experiences. We want to sit around a campfire and relate, commiserate, teach. And, I suspect that this brave new technological world that we're moving into will make it more possible for us to get our stories out there. Not that I want the big publishers to go out of business, but too often our important stories are held in disregard.
