Mother’s Day & Some New Reviews

Maybe I’d like to sit on a bench and look at the water and just…be.

Mother’s Day is this upcoming Sunday.

Do you know what I want for Mother’s Day?

I don’t want to do a damn thing.

Nothing.

I want to turn off my brain, have someone else serve me brunch (which we have already arranged, thank goodness!), and do, as Audrey Hepburn says in Roman Holiday, “just whatever I’d like for a few hours.”

I think there’s a misconception with regard to Mother’s Day and gift-giving that we “need stuff.” I don’t need anything at all that’s tangible and store-bought. I’m going to speak for tired mothers around the world when I say this: You can just hand us our tiaras and let us do what we please.

All we need is a little serenity and peace; we might even like to curl up with a good book or watch an old movie.

Honestly, that’s all we want.

Well, that and maybe a little chocolate.

An oldie but goodie.

There have been a couple of new reviews that I’ve loved seeing on Amazon about Inn Significant. I’m still getting a lot of positive feedback on the book with several people telling me it’s the best of my three novels. While each one is incredibly special to me, I take that as a wonderful compliment. I would certainly hope my storytelling gets better each time. At least, that’s what I aim for with each piece of fiction I write.

Thanks to those of you who have posted a review.

I’m beyond grateful.
