Merry Meet,
How
be things with you? We are almost to Beltane and I am exhausted…it has come to
my attention that it has been quite difficult to reach me…let me catch you up
on all the happenings…
AmericanBoudica has been so busy…I have been asked about a listing of the books- it is
provided at the bottom of the blog…making appearances after the last release
has been a joy…Chris and I have chosen to start with our fourth book in the
Boudica series in May…Keith has been patiently waiting for me to wrap this up
so we can work on his book and game…sounds like my summer will be hopping:)
I
have an MBA from Everglades University…WOO HOO…I worked so hard…my friend
Lawanda was able to go with me…we had an awesome time…I may have made her
slightly crazy with the filet o fish jingle- I do not even like the sandwich,
but the commercial was so funny…the hotel had great service…the Mayor of Boca
spoke…really cool service…my Keiser University instructor was great…considering
2 weeks after graduation was The Sunshine Paddle…it was not easy, but I did get
all my work in…though management is a dry subject, the instructor kept it
interesting…
Life
in the green technology business is not easy…NPE is still in testing…innovation
seems to be all about hurry up and wait…I am not really good at waiting, but at
times you have no choice…I have set up power point presentations every so often
so I can measure progress…For a while I have been taking all of our cardboard to a recycling bin-the money made by that bin goes to a children's group...your trash can help others…I have had to fix several little details on our
full patent, so when all of that was complete they notified me that we are
being put through testing at the patent office at the moment...obtaining the
provisional was kind of exciting, but the full patent is really an amazing
feeling
In
the Circle of Boudica we are almost ready for Beltane…I will be having a fire
here at the house this year…it will be my first time to relax in the last 3
months…it will be a good time for Caipirinhas- I have picked up cachaca…so psyked...I am in process of making fire spinners:)
We
just completed the Sunshine Paddle for 2014…what a month…first we made an appearance
at Gumbo Limbo…I was sad to learn that USA has now become number 7 in the world
for finning- so horrid…I also learned with very little effort we could help the
turtles and the animals of the Everglades…Next I made an appearance at the
Dolphin Research Center…I was VERY impressed on many levels here…then came the
end of the month…the woman who was to paddle with me bailed at the last minute…I
went anyway…the trip was amazing…I raised around $150 for the shelter and $150
for the food bank…Applebees donated gift certificates…an anonymous donor gave
an expensive piece of baby equipment still in the box for the shelter- How cool
is that???
Walking
around the yard with the dogs has been really cool…flowers seem to pop from
every corner…the first walk of the morning smells like the yard is covered in
perfume…the buds have had deep colors…Dad is being picky about how much he
cleans out from under the plants…
As
Captain Phil once said ‘sleep is for the dead’…lol…it is my hope to see you at
the Beltane fire…if not swing in soon…maybe if you have time we can go to the
beach…
Blessed Be,
D
