Here I am in beach paradise burnt out on the beach. Funny how my sunburn in Australia has changed my view of sun bathing. I prefer the shade during the hottest part of the day.

Being in the South is great for many reasons the fresh fruit for brekkie every morning. The healthy diet is easy here. Smoothie there acai bowl there. I found a breakfast item I love, coconut milk with cinnamon granola & apple. Yum. & so healthy.

Local transit is interesting. Something we experienced yesterday. A local train took 80 minutes without AC. The local bus to the coast was scary & beautiful.

Finally my hubby finally feels like he is on vacation.. Mission accompli. See you in the rain.

So, my book launch was last night & 6 people showed up that I didn’t know & 9 books where sold!! Yipeee! It feels so good to have it behind me & feeling great to read on a mic again. But it felt great to read to an audience & to get some applause for what I have written.

I spent 2 days preparing by reading out to loud to friends & family. I found my voice last night & that felt great. I am using the word Great too much so I will have to find another verb.

Although the last month has been stressful the book looks great in hardcover & the last minute edits we did improved on my vision. Now onto finding a house with a grass for our dog & finding a place for my cafe. Something I am super excited about.

I also hope to find a steadfast open mic here in Bergen where I can try out new material. Remember you can buy a copy anytime on Amazon. Just search Greylight & you will find it. Till next time you see me on the mic or on here, remember to stay true to yourself & your dreams & go pick Chestnuts. It’s the season.

So, here I am in the thick of Summer & over the next coming days the tempreture will rise to 80 degrees. Yuck. I sat at my favorite cafe today & observed a family just stagnate, with no good reason. They really took their time! The city is still over run by zombies. Many too lazy to walk back to their polluting cruise ships so they stagnate at local bus stops. Ridiculous.

I feel bad for the people working in the city center because if it isn’t a rude tourist, like the other day when these 2 American guys came into my cafe, went up to the counter & pretty much demanded to know where the toilet was. Or maybe it’s the abudance of selfie sticks.

My book launch is in 2 weeks & I am nervous. I feel a tinge of dread as if no one will come. Which I know they will but just the thought of an empty room is disheartening. I miss my New Yorkers, I feel that I haven’t had the concentration to sink my teeth into an issue.

No, it feels good that the Summer is over next week. I think it’s Summer until the rain hits in September but here it’s over after the 4 week vacation everyone takes. The buses will become crowded again but hey normalcy will return which is a good thing.
