A New Dream

Well now.

Here I am, promoting Alaska Lullaby at a store opening,  and who should show up to do her own book signing, but Barbara Lavallee. As my teenage daughter would put it, I went all 'fan girl' on her. I was so excited! She had me sign a book for her grand kids.
Come on! I love her work so much. She is Alaska royalty in the children's book world.

New dream: work with Barbara.

Silence

This goes against the very point of having a blog I suppose; but when I go through difficult times I tend to retreat and clam up. Even writing it down here, where it is still a private place in a way, is something I can't do easily. Many therapists suggest 'getting the story out' - that in the telling of it there is much to be gained. So why do I hesitate still?
