New partnership: Texas Sisters
I have started working with the two sisters with one of my children’s books coming out in the Fall. I enjoy working with them very much. I will be announcing my illustrator in August for my Fall book. C. J. Peterson is a seven-time award-winning published author since 20212. She is also a podcaster and blogger. Find out who chief and Sarge are: Adventures of Chief and Sarge. L. M. Mann is a three-time award-winning author and enjoys writing for kids. They both compliment each other with their talents, and we are authors’ benefit because of their publishing company. www.texassisterspress.com
Fourth of July Family Fun
The 4th of July is a time to give thanks for our freedom. Enjoy parades and family time. My mom loved to be part of the parades and celebrate being born on the 4th of July. Here are a few family pictures of her special day…
Travel Moment
John and I had a chance to drive to Georgia and see our youngest daughter and her husband. We took in some fun sites. I especially love seeing waterfalls. I hope you enjoy them too.
Fitness, Travel, and Leisure!
Friday is turning out to be one of my favorite days, and no, it is not because it is the weekend, though you are 1/2, right! It is the ‘Rapping with Dr. Jacalyn™ Fashion, Fitness, Travel, and Leisure!‘ show, and I am so proud to be her cohost. I hope Friday becomes your favorite day to tune in to the show. We have guests worldwide, and they share their expertise, behind the scenes, and travel adventures. It is at 12:30 Eastern Time, and if you click the link, you can set a reminder, so you never miss the show. You can even have a replay in case the live show does not work for you.
