As I throw back the covers and plop onto the mattress I suddenly realize something very important.

Their little white spots, their erratic but graceful movements, it’s just mesmerizing. Everyday something happens that is so beautiful, I am lost in thought for eons after. So if it takes me forever to get anything done – blog, updates, new books, now you know why. It’s not my fault this world is so amazing.
