I interrupt writing about my Australian Saga to bring you the following announcement:
My ebook, Cliff and Me and the Motorcycle Makes Three will be available FREE through Amazon on Sunday October 14, 2012.
I met Cliff in 1981 and we married a year later. We took several motorcycle trips together — to Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, the Black Hills, Door County, and Colorado. Our adventures during those journeys are the basis for this book. At 20,000 words it is a quick read.
I hope you will consider taking a “look inside” to read the first several pages at the link to the book’s Amazon page (book title above). Please take advantage of this one-day free promotion to download the book for your Kindle or other electronic device.

If you choose to read the book, I sincerely thank you for your interest in my story. An honest review would be welcome and appreciated.
I will return to telling the story of our Australian journey. Here is a cute picture we took of a Mama Kangaroo and Joey at the Cairns Zoo to tide you over.

Here is the guy I fell for! This photo shows Cliff on his bike, with our travel trailer, taken in the early 1980s.
I am living in the 1980s, as I remember my past in order to realize my dreams for the future. I am writing my first travel memoir.
Traveling Together: Cliff and Me and the Motorcycle Make Three is about the journeys I took with my husband which generated stories of love and adventure. During the past few years I have been composing my account of these stories during writing classes. Now I am putting the chapters together to become my first e-book.
I am well on my way to completing this memoir. My plans are to publish this as a Kindle e-book before I publish the book I have been working on: Realize Your Dreams: An Action Plan for Life Transformation.
Last week I had the great privilege to participate in a writing workshop called Pilgrimages: Mindful Travel Writing & Memoir at Madeline Island School of the Arts, where I worked on this memoir. It was taught by Catherine Watson, an accomplished travel writer and inspiring instructor and mentor. I was part of a small group of students who poured our hearts out, writing in a supportive environment. My thanks to all involved. Did a mention that it was a fantastic experience?
The reason I was able to participate in this workshop is because I was the recipient of an Individual Artists Grant, which I would like to acknowledge with gratitude: “This activity is made possible by a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council with funds generously provided by the McKnight Foundation.”

2012 comes to us with opportunities and probably some baggage. What will the year ahead bring? Or, maybe a better question is: what will each of us bring to 2012? How will we navigate the highs, lows, waves, sunny skies and whirlpools?
I have taken the first step to write my life’s next chapter: I resigned my job this week. Am I crazy? In this economy? At my age? I am not ready to retire. But I have enough self-awareness to know when I am in a situation that is not right for me. I am ready to change direction. And I am well aware that I am more fortunate than many because I have a partner (my wonderful husband) who supports this move.
As I pursue job openings that look like a good fit for me and my qualifications, I will spend my time working on my own projects:
What will you bring to your 2012?
