I’m behind on posting and replying to comments here, my apologies! We were busy preparing for and then taking a much needed vacation to a gorgeous lake in Maine! Just home now, I saw a note to myself that I meant to share the following:

I wasn’t going to read this blog post from a fellow author and UK friend Michael (80s Metalman) re: The World Cup at: https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com/2026/06/14/world-cup-thoughts/ because I don’t watch sports, but I am so glad I read it!

I loved Michael’s points about leaving politics out of sports AND about sportsmanship!! People definitely deserve to play sports, music, have discussions and discourse about science, spirituality, health, etc. with respect and kindness and put political ideologies aside!

As for our lake vacation in Maine, yes, we all had a great time! We loved swimming in the cool water and the opportunity to watch our granddaughters (the twins are 9) fuss over snails their dad dug up from the lake sand. We had breakfast pizza one morning from the campground store, and did a LOT of walking. We had a big dinner out one evening too. I had brought filet mignon steaks and our son-in-law grilled them for all of us adults while the girls chowed down on hamburgers and hot dogs. (They don’t like steak, so no worries.) Thus we enjoyed several cookouts complete with homemade s’mores! Everyone at the campground (we all stayed in a cabin) were so friendly too!

The most memorable moment was when I happened to be only a foot away from one of the twins when she got scared while swimming and I “rescued” her–she really wasn’t in danger though. I got to hold her for several minutes and console her and tell her about how my mom taught me how to float on my back when I was about her age. Every child should know how to float! It could save many lives! She was so scared and I told her panic is what gets people in trouble. I explained water can feel scary but it’s also very relaxing if one will allow it. I totally understood her fear but hoped my calm reassurance would help ease her fear. She didn’t want to let me out of her site the rest of that day–and THAT was precious.

Dragon Dreamers Conference

The Dragon Dreamers Summer Daze all-day Saturday conference was fantastic! I gave the keynote presentation to set the theme for the day of Interconnectedness (and spoke about my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why). I know a few people didn’t want to pay full price to hear me speak, though it was well worth it. Now, you can watch the replay for $10 Canadian. So this time, your procrastination will save you money! Ha! How’s that for a deal?

I had a great conference experience on June 13th and think you might have liked it. I have been invited on another podcast, July 8th and am now conversing with others from Ireland and the UK. It’s starting to get very exciting!!

Bike Week

We left town a few days after Bike Week 2026 started where we live in New Hampshire, but if you’re curious what it’s about, Richard wrote a new song you can check out here: https://youtu.be/PgOJ1BP0phk?si=eUmTGYVnxXARRlH4

My book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why

Here’s the link where you can grab a copy of, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers.
