Do You Know What Normal Looks Like?

Do you ever wonder what normal feels like?  For as long as I can remember, my life has not been 'normal.'  I know there are many others who can relate.  But am happy to report that this past month should be labeled as normal.  

There were no sudden catastrophes, no insane trauma to deal with, no impending 
problems that needed immediate attention -- just normal.

Work, play, work, eat, work, write, work, entertain.  Normal.  Loved it.

Do You Enjoy Doing What You Do?



My talk show turned four years old last month.  It is hard to believe because I love
doing it and it feels like only a few months ago it launched.  Speaking of 
normal, the common thread with 100% of my guests is they went from 
extraordinary circumstances to 'normal.'  I respect each and every one of them and
their incredible stories.  I am thrilled to be in such remarkable company.  
Never Ever Give Up Hope is a show sharing stories of ORDINARY people who have experienced the extraordinary.

Our friends from Alberta Canada are visiting this week.  Today they are salmon fishing with my hubby.  In the first hour, they caught four.  Tonight will be stuffed salmon on the barbie.  Ever make it?  Awesome is an understatement!

The Greatest Highlight of any Month

Next week the grands will be here for the week.  What a wonderful way to end a 
super, fun-filled, busy summer with the perfect temperature for the entire time.  Love the West Coast!

Here's to a new normal!
