I am currently working on a project that is going to be amazing. The more I work on it, the more I love it. But when that is done, I have something in mind about Vet's. I have a few that have agreed to talk with me when I am ready.
There are so many amazing stories out there. I have to head to the bookstore before Friday (come friday all shopping is done online LOL) because I really want that book.

Teachers can change a life without ever even knowing they have done so.

Hi, bel,
I also had a teacher who inspired me to write. Her name was Mrs. Fish. I think about her often. Thanks for the good memory. :)

You're a fantastic writer, Bel, never doubt that. I picked up the vets book
today, I just got back from picking it up. I left early so I left it to be signed and went back for it. I cannot wait to get into it, I am so excited. You know you're going places.

what a wonderful post Bel.
I love that quote, and the way you have expounded on it with your personal anecdote is beautiful. Want to go see the movie with me? ;-)

great quote, bel. safe to say your teacher's writings wouldn't be what
they are if her spirit was of the snooty type.

That's the best approach......
It's the same with a manipulator....if you know what they are trying to do...they aren't really successful at it..........

you are right. I am trying to learn to take each as they come and when all is said and done have no regrets.

What a sweet post!
And, I too, love the quote.......the "seasoners" are more shallow, almost transparent.....they gain depth by drawing energy from those around them...when the energy is gone......they move on, unfortunately with nary a further contact....
I feel sorry for them.......

I wish I had a way to tell her. I used to have her email address which was eaten when I had to replace my hardrive and I can't find it anywhere. I am hoping to leave a message for her at a bookstore I know she used to frequent but I don't know if it will do any good.

Re NaNo...
There's no reason to be envious. You've done 10,000 words that would otherwise have stayed in the crisper drawer of your fridge mind. Now they're becoming soup. I'm remembering from somewhere it's not the destination it's the journey that's important. Woo! Hoo! Way to go! :)

I suspect her writing ability will always outshine mine, but I am grateful for her input and her lessons.

bel, nobody is any better than anybody else. I guess you learned that lesson too, didn't you? That was a very nice post and I'll keep an eye out for that movie.

They do absolutely come into our lives for a reason, Bel, to be angels
I left you a quick note on my blog, I have to sign off, but I'll get more info for you, tomorrow, if not sooner. Have a great night and good to see you back, as you of all people can relate to what M and I go through, with our own problems.
