Lazy Days of Summer SALE - #99cents!




Greetings, all! I hope you are setting aside some portion of these long summer days to devote to the fine art of idleness. This morning I spent a few hours at the beach with my son, soaking up the sun and enjoying the surf. I also took some time to notice what the other beach-goers were doing. The little ones near us were having an all-out blast with nothing more than some wet sand and a few buckets. Some people read, some chatted and some chewed. And a few just sat there - observing, thinking, watching, being.

Being in the moment.

It's one of the toughest things to do, isn't it? I know I'm always either planning or working or going or doing. But being idle and savoring the here and now? That's quite a feat at times.

Often the closest I can get to achieving idleness is when I sit with a good book and get lost inside the pages. How about you? How do you go about getting quiet with yourself? Do you write, read or something else altogether?

To help entice you to spend a bit of down-time with a new friend, here's a quick Lazy Days of Summer Sale. But it's a quickie so don't delay. Pick up your copy of THE MAKING OF NEBRASKA BROWN right now for JUST .99 CENTS. Settle back in your fave comfy chair (or a really cool hammock) and tune out the world for a while. Get to know Ann and Tommy and Shane and Tessa.

I hope you will :)
