Carpe Diem!🌼 📚

Recently, I  went to the DMV area to attend the funeral of a family friend. She had just retired and in the middle of a kitchen renovation and sadly didn't see the end product or enjoy her retirement.  She had gone in for a routine corrective surgery and something went horribly wrong. 
Carpe diem!   In today’s rush, we all think too much, seek too much, want too much, and forget about the joy
of just being...- Eckhart Tolle

Despite the saddness.....It was wonderful to be back and visit with family and friends. 
My brother and I went to get my Mother's headstone designed.  As we traveled along we began to talk about the people from the town in Jamaica where we grew up.  The characters were varied and funnier than any comedy club act.  Then my brother said, "Dawn why don't you write a book about it?"  And I thought, why not??!!!
I could tell my brother had been thinking about this adventure for me because he even had the title for the book all set and ready to go!

I  am thinking and creating a rough outline. Let's see what happens....looks like an awesome adventure!📚
