February 2024

Over the years, I bet you have learned about many people in history, but have you ever met James Armistead? If not, let me introduce him as he played an essential role in the Revolutionary War. I learned about him while watching a documentary about the American Revolution. He was a hero in my book, as he was a double agent for the Americans. He gained British trust and gave updates on Benedict Arnold's activities and what the British troops were up to. Read more about him by reading A Spy Called James: The True Story of James Lafayette, Revolutionary War Double Agent.

Imagination

February has been a month of writing, from Boomer to short stories and much more. I am often asked how I come up with my stories. Well, the inspiration hits me at different times, and when it does, I am buried in a new world of writing and barely come up for air until I have finished the story. Once I have finished the story's first draft, it is edit time. That is a whole new topic, for sure! I bet you have lots of stories, too! Please consider writing them down for family or even having them published. Embrace your Imagination for others to enjoy!

KINDNESS

Last month, I shared with you how we all have a light of goodness inside us. Kindness is my word for this year. I would love to hear how you are spreading kindness. Here is a sample of kindness I did just today. A lady came into the Pilates class waiting room. She was dressed so cute and had on bright red lipstick. I told her how pretty she looked, and I loved her shade of lipstick; it meant so much to her that she sat down and talked to me, and we discovered people we knew. She thanked me for making her day. You never know how such a simple act could mean so much to another. I hope this inspires you to spread a little sunshine.
