Be afraid but take action

I love, love, LOVE this quote by Carrie Fisher! I absolutely agree with it and reading it today feels like kismet. I know I sometimes let fear get in my way. I think we all do but we have to get past the fear in order to be successful. This can be true in any facet of our lives. Recently I believe I have been letting the fear of yet another rejection hinder my writing. I feel kind of stupid about that and yet - human. I know I have to take the next step. I WANT  to take the next step(s). So I will.

A rainy day

We are getting much-needed and appreciated rain in Southern California. I sincerely hope all of the rain (and snow in higher elevations) we've had recently means we're no longer in a drought.

My family and I have enjoyed a cozy day indoors. I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 earlier today with my kids. Then all of us, my husband included, had ourselves sorted into our Hogwarts houses at Pottermore. We consist of one Gryffindor, one Ravenclaw and two Hufflepuffs. It's quite fun knowing this!

After we did the sorting my kids and I talked to my mom. My kids have alternated between reading and watching television. WHile I have alternated between reading, writing, revising and crocheting. All with a hot drink at hand. 

How has your day been where you are?
