"You know those people, Olivia, you sometimes feel you're waiting for? I mean new friends and connections, agents and directors, customers and clients, publishers and producers, dear hearts and darlings. Well, they're actually just waiting for you... to make some serious room for them in your life.
Do stuff, Olivia, little stuff, lots of stuff, prepare the way... and don't even think of stopping until you're dining with them at The Ritz.

"Room Service? Hi. It's me again, Olivia Herrell. That's right, in the Penthouse Suite. If you wouldn't mind, could we please have another round of desserts, some more wood on the fire, and, uh, some new springs for the trampoline?"
Is your name holding you back, maybe even keeping you from being published? My friend, Karen Mead, shared this link on Facebook.
There is a fabulous celebration of friendship and publishing success going on over at Elliot Grace's blog. What an inspiring and inventive way to acknowledge his landmark 100 followers AND his debut novel, South of Charm, coming our way in 2011.
There is a lot of blog love (link love as my friend, Postman, calls it) going around the blogverse these days. Another friend shared this awesome vid on FB (I'm so sorry, I forgot who!) and I HAD to share. This is dedicated to all of my friends.
Last, but not least, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to my nephew, Joshua Herrell, who is stationed in South Korea.
Amanda, his wife, keeps us informed on Facebook and via her blog.
I wanted to share a pic of Josh standing (in uniform) on the North Korean border. She'd posted it a few days ago to FB. Alas, she's taken it down.
So instead, here's a shot of him on vacation with his family in Guam.
Love you, Josh!
AHA! Found that picture. I had shared it on MY Facebook page. It's still there so I'll share it with you. Josh with North Korea behind him:
I love you, Josh!
Stay safe.
We're sending thoughts of love and light, peace and joy your way.

I love my daily dose of TUT too! It always makes me smile. Thanks for posting the video - beautiful!
What a lovely blog! I really believe in the notes of the universe, and 'The Secret'. Hopefully, I'll be proven right next year! =D
That is an awesome website. Thank you for sharing!!
I love the video too!! So touching!!
Have a Wonderful Week!!
HUGS,
Coreen
Wonderful notes, I suppose our ship will come home when it reaches our horizon, some takes longer than others.
It was a pleasure to read your post, very uplifting Thank you.
Have a good week-end;
Yvonne.
Such a great post.
Nice pic of Josh in his bathing suit...although he looks great, I had to chuckle at that. His proud auntie posting it on her blog! I love that!
Thanks for the great links! Got to try Tut. Any relation to the king?
Happy Birthday to Joshua!!!
Love the vid, too. You've got a friend, here:)
I LOVED that post Elliot did and cried. He is just so sweet and terribly creative, isn't he.
I also love that Notes from the Universe. I'll have to try it out.
Angela, thank you so much for stopping by and following. I hope you enjoy TUT as much as I do!
Hi Belle, great to see you! Thanks for stopping by. Isn't this video awesome? Nice to hook up with fellow Tut-ites!
Hi Clara, welcome. And thank you so much! I'll hold good intentions for you! :)

Hey Coreen, good to see you! Have a great weekend!
Yvonne, I've been thinking of you, how are you?? Hope your weekend is beautiful and bright.
Sandra, hey! I figured if he had it as a Facebook profile pic I could lift it for here, lol. You're probably right, though. I actually found that other pic later. Maybe I should go back and replace it. :)
~Olivia
Terry, probably! :) And you have one here. Can't wait till we're dancing in N.O.
Piedmont, it made me tear up, too. Enjoy TUT.
Have a great weekend, y'all!
~Olivia
I'm going to go check out the notes from the universe....
And I agree about Elliot's very creative celebration. How cool! We all got to go hang out together. I must have had too much to drink because the whole thing is quite fuzzy now....;P
I will keep your nephew in my prayers...and I'd love to be at the beach right now.
Hope your weekend is treating you exceptionally well
This was nice to come back to :)
I've been staying away so I can catch up on that beta read. But I wanted to say how much I missed your posts.
Thanks for the links, and the video. Awesome vid.
.........dhole
Words Crafter, thank you. Hope you had a great weekend, too.
Donna, thanks for stopping by when you came up for air! Glad you liked the video and awwww, you're sweet.
~Olivia
Thanks for the beautiful video, Olivia.
I called down for Room Service today. All I got was an echo. Good news : no calories to echoes.
Have a better week, Roland
Roland, any time, glad you got to see it. Try again on the room service. :)
~Olivia
Oh, I forgot: I have an award for you over at my blog. And thanks for the one you gave me.

Notes from the Universe... sounds like someting I should investigate!
Excellent post; it is possible that names can hold you back, I've often thought it of my own.
Thanks for the links too, very useful.

Donna, thank you so much, I'll head over there to accept it. And you're welcome!
Carolyn, hello and welcome. Thank you for stopping by and for following. I'll be over to check you out, too!
Crystal Jigsaw, I love your moniker! You're welcome and thank you so much for coming by and following. Can't wait to check out your blog!

Looking forward to your Top 10 TV Shows today!
Notes from the Universe are amazing! It gets creepy sometimes when it says exactly what has just happened. I got a note saying 'congratulations on your new job' when I just got one from two days ago! They are so uplifting, too. Love it.
People forget the Korean DMZ is still a dangerous place. My thoughts go out to Joshua hoping for a safe tour of duty.
Alex, I had totally forgotten. But I snuck it in! Thanks for the reminder.
Len, I know what you mean about the Notes. This has been an especially difficult week for me and the Notes are long missives of hope. Thanks Universe! And thank you, Len for stopping by. Welcome!

Wally, hi there, I've missed you. I'm almost done with your first book, Feeling Lucky. I'm sorry I've taken so long, I'm such a slacker these days!
Thank you for sending good thoughts for Joshua. Every now and then it sinks in, again, that he is not just in a foreign country, he's in a DMZ. And things are tense and North Korea is so close. His family is with him. I'm glad they're together but I miss those boys. And 'my' little boy. Thanks for the reminder.
~Olivia
I hope you enjoyed my first America's Galactic Foreign Legion book. AGFL-4 "DMZ" is due out any day, and was inspired about events along the Korean DMZ people have not heard about or have forgot. Of course, I put a humorous spin on the situation.
I have been on vacation to Reno, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Brice Canyon, Idnian ruins, Last Lake City, Jockpot, Pendleton, and a lot of undeveloped hot springs in between.
I say a sign at a roadside restaurant advertising "Ho-made_ pies. Haveing a sweet tooth, of course I slammed on the breaks and stopped to investigate. The delicious pies were edited into AGFL Book 5. Hey, I find good ideas everywhere.
Wally
I DID. I am. I'm not quite done yet. #4 sounds intriguing. Your vacation sounds wonderful. Gotta love a ho made pie!
Jockpot? Really??
