It’s Celebrate The Small Things Day. Something I’ve achieved each week, no matter how small. If you’re interested in doing the same thing sign up here at Vicki’s blog. And once again, it’s a biggie I’m celebrating. And it hasn’t even happened yet!

On Monday, I will reconnect with a group of women writers I met on Facebook last year. It all started when Deborah Batterman, the New York founder of the group mentioned that  she was flying to Los Angeles to visit her daughter, how about meeting in person. And just like that, five of us headed for an agreed upon meeting place, a restaurant in Santa Barbara. This was a 150-mile journey for me. You can read all about it here. That’s us above with the waiter.

Same deal, only this time we’re meeting at the Aroma Coffee and Tea Company in Studio City, near Hollywood. And this time, instead of just looking forward to meeting women I admire, I will savor every single moment I get to spend with them. To paraphrase Judith Duerk from her book, “Circle of Stones,” I will rejoice in that place of women where I am sustained and steadied.
