CHICAGO WRITERS' ASSOCIATION EVENT WITH GARY W. MOORE
It was an intimate setting with a small group. Still it was an enjoyable, engaging, enlightening evening with author Gary W. Moore. If you missed it, you missed out!
A special thanks to all in attendance.

A Break to Pay Tribute---ROBIN DENISE WILLIAMS
I lost a friend this weekend. Robin Denise Williams was a talented freelance writer, educator and do-gooder! She died on Friday.
Words can not convey my sense of loss, and the potential lost to audiences everywhere that will not have the pleasure of reading and "experiencing" Robin's gift and her creative work.
Life has a way of keeping us busy. And as such, I meant to call her this week to reconnect, (as she had moved and had taken ill, I recently discovered ).
Unfortunately, before I could make that call of caring, she was gone.
Don't let the hustle and bustle and rigors of life keep you too busy to share a kind word or expressions of appreciation to others.
Sometimes "tomorrow" is too late.
And with this in mind, I'd like to thank each and every one of my readers for taking the time to support me and share my world by reading this Blog.
Go in peace.;-) I wish you good health and abundance.

Ode to October!
What a busy month! And can you believe how quickly the year has gone by?
Sorry my postings have been less frequent.
But, I'll do my best to catch you up...
Been working on a few Blogs and writing content for clients.
Have just finished penning columns for my weekly online dating articles.
In the midst of planning another book signing for a local author to be held in November. Promises to be a blast!
Wanted to submit an entry to Funds for Writers, but as today is the deadline, not sure I'll make it.
Got a new follower to this Blog! Thanks folks, for your time and support.
And amidst all the projects and deadlines, made time to mellow out with some hot jazz with cool friends at a local cafe. It was a good time.
I'm looking forward to fall... the hot chocolate, opportunity to wear my high heeled boots again, and unwinding to good books and quiet pleasures.
I'm also looking forward to reconnecting with you. What's going on in your world? Do share...

GROOVY PEOPLE!
...Anybody remember Lou Rawls' song of some decades ago called Groovy People?
Well in it, he refers to individuals whom he loves to share time with and kick back and relax.
"Down home" people is what he calls them.
Well, I feel the same way about creative souls.
I dig the vibe, the energy, and the creative connection from writers and poets!
I love the intellectual stimulation. You typically won't find useless small talk or big gossip mongers. We share stuff that changes lives and broadens horizons.
Like the recent Authors' Day event that I helped to organize at the new Beverly Library, (held by the Chicago Writers Association.) What a great afternoon!
If you missed it, you missed out on some enlightening, diverse authors, a great spread, and endless opportunities to network with like minded, "groovy people".
I'm looking forward to our next event in November..

EVERYBODY'S GOT AN OPINION
Why not share yours by posting comments to authors' Blogs?
Everybody benefits.
Today's entry, in fact, was inspired by a plea I saw posted on FACEBOOK where a writer has requested that folks read and comment on her BLOG to try to build a following in order to establish a platform and increase her exposure. It's a situation that many of us can relate to.
We know you're out there, reading audience.;-) Weigh in.
To quote a line from a famous song, "Everything I do, I do it for you." ;-)
That's my public service message for today folks.
Enjoy your week and be well!
