Days, weeks and months have blown by without written words. Truly, time as a precious commodity stands still for no one. And repeatedly, I have prepared myself to return to the written word but my hard-headed physical body had not complied. It took the inspiration from many women and little time to ignite the spark , again.
Although the intent was surely different, Robert Cray said it best.
Well somebody called and gave me the word
And I’m gonna tell you people just what I heard
I’m gonna tell you for free and it won’t cost a dime
There’s so many women, so little time
Words to Action
Owing to fate these women and talented authors arrived on my doorstep. Why fate? In short, a week ago I did not have a schedule to host a salon filled with authors, artists and a couple of friends. Yesterday, I found myself drenched in conversations about publishing, cocktails with Matt Damon, secrets of Sundance, a secret garden, life lessons from India and spies in the Magic City.
Even so, one evening of conversation with these intelligent, gifted and entertaining authors would not satisfy my curiosity. A more perfect Q and A could not have been delivered to my doorstep, literally. Over slices of key lime and peach pie, charcuterie and one of my “whip it up” appetizers Hot and Easy Game Day Dip I managed to get a word in between the sips of wine. Many women and little time to read or learn it all.
Sometimes, women get excited to share their stories and journey. So many women and little time to condense it all in one evening of sharing. I was thrilled to listen and discover the secrets of wisdom that found their way to my abode. And crossing my fingers that they would leave some of their pixie dust behind to land on me.
Especially today, I am grateful for the pixie dust, visit and words scattered on my mind. Also, knowing that I can reach out to my favorite book store for more inspiration from these authors is joyous. Before even a day passed, I wanted to share each of them with you. Besides, maybe the pixie dust will land on you as well.
