BWGers! My sister, @carolallenastrologer, is hosting today’s #WriteIn while I’m traveling (and the next few Write-Ins). Treat her right, or I’ll beat you up. Lol. 😜😍 She’s the most fun—the best writer, editor, and all-around great storyteller I know. So, stop in to say hello and get your write on! 📝✍️

See you in May. I’ll be sharing fun pics of the trip, too. I’ve never been, and I’m so excited. Wedding anniversary, watching @haylinic run the London Marathon, and seeing one of my best friends from college. Perhaps a horseback ride through Hyde Park? Hugging (or trying to 😉) a few ancient stones? Ha. What can a girl discover without having 100 animals to care for? 😂

Cheerio! xo
