I’ve Got a Secret

Posted on July 28, 2015 by Laurie Buchanan

Something exciting is happening in my world.
I’m not going to share it with you.
Just yet.
But I will.
Soon!

The reason for this excitement was a catalyst for reaching out to other writers — published women authors — with a request. Without exception, this network of friends stepped up to the plate and embraced my request with yes, Yes, YES! Their glowing support has me bursting at the seams.

Like fizz in champagne, do you have something — secret or otherwise — that has you bubbling with excitement?

Psssst, if you’re one of the authors who’s stepped up to the plate, mum’s the word…

Can’t say that I have been sitting on any secrets lately, but I am planning a trip to the beach next week. And that makes me fizz like a dropped can of ginger ale! Secrets are fun to have….but don’t make everyone wait too long….

  Sandi — Your trip to the beach is going to wonderfully relaxing and refreshing. In the meantime, I imagine your toes are tapping with excitement 🙂

  Sandi — I took that photograph last year when we first arrived in Boise. The tulips are grown in HUGE “planters” in the downtown area, somewhat close to the capitol building.

What a tease.
Clearly your’re ready to run … I’m excited to hear your news! I do have a guess or perhaps a hope on what you might be up to.

I’m working on a couple of new ventures; as yet not ready for prime time.

  Audrey — I suspect that you have a good guess, too. I love the way you put your new venture: “…not quite ready for prime time.” 🙂

This is plain old exciting! I’m excited to hear this lovely news! I’m bubbling up on excitement for our 15 year wedding anniversary. My husband semi planned (that right there is pretty huge) an overnighter at the Skamania Lodge and will be doing … Ziplining and touring the many waterfalls on our way home. He’s deathly afraid of heights and doing this shows me his complete trust and desire to take this adventure of life with me full on.

  Lana — happy, Happy, HAPPY anniversary. Oh how fun that you’re going zip-lining. Share photos, please! 🙂

Nothing much bubbling this morning Laurie just quietly content. It is all good!

  Terrill — I think “quietly content” for you means you’re painting another gorgeous canvas in your mind, and before you know it, voila’ — it’ll be a 3-dimensional reality for the world to appreciate.

Mum’s the word, Laurie. 🙂

As for me, I’ve been drawn to a new subject, an exciting one for me, but don’t yet know the contours of the call. Happy to evolve slowly now. Headed on a road trip to see my daughter on her birthday. Woo hoo!

Dorothy Sander on July 28, 2015 at 2:00 pm said:

I’m bubbling because I’m stepping out of my comfort zone with something I’ve decided to do. Keeping details mum from even my hubby so I can keep all the energy momentum in tact. Sometimes we need to hang on to that energy more than we need to share it. Love secrets! They have such potential!

  Dorothy — I love your wisdom: “…so I can keep all the energy momentum in tact.” Yes, indeed. That’s precisely the place where I’m at. I’m excited for secret too. I know you’ll share it with the rest of it when the time is right. Woohoo! 🙂

I can’t wait to find out! But I’m bummed that I’m not one of the published women writers in the know (that’s my ego talking, my secret is that I can still be egotistical. Rats). :+) Love your tulip banner. It’s a banner year for secrets!
