Today I said “yes” to a writing project. The work begins this week.

I thought about it. I met Germana. Her story, I believe, aligns with my purpose – to inspire. We both want to inspire. I have a good feeling that we will make an excellent team.

We begin soon.

It feels right.

Today I began the business of preparing for a road trip south of the border. Abby got her Rabies booster. The lovely vet examined her and gave me nothing but good news (which has me doing a big happy dance.) – Abby is right on her weight and she’s in excellent physical shape, especially considering her age.

I am so happy about that. All I need to do is keep doing what I’m doing: exercise, nutrition and love.

Tomorrow, however, she will probably not feel quite so loved because I am taking her to Dog ‘N Suds for a totally thorough bath. It’s time. No – I take that back – it’s way past time.

I’ve been brushing her daily and she hardly sheds now but a bath – yeah – that will be so good. And then I’ll wash all her towels and bedding so she will be sparkling clean. Until she rolls in the field where the horses pee and poop. In other words, she’ll be clean for maybe a couple of hours (if I’m lucky).

Life is good. I’m feeling excited about a lot of things.

I’ll work it all off on Wednesday – a nice steep uphill to the top of Mount Benson.
