The Magnolias Are in Bloom!














We had fun posing by the blossoming Magnolias in Brunswick Forest today!

Thanks, Stan!

My day started well with this comment from Stan Powell on Facebook!

Thanks, Stan!

"I thought Bruce Brown was one of the best networking/social media philosopher writers out there; but his wife Marge is also gonna give him a run for his money! :) A must read when it is released."

He's talking about my upcoming book: 31 Days to Personal Mastery: Create Abundance Through Giving...Grow Your Self in Just One Month.

We're working on it today to get it passed to our publisher, Alfred Poor of Desktop Wings, Inc.

I Heart Design

When I design and furnish our dream home, I'm going to consider using this nifty service I discovered today. At I Heart Design (http://www.iheartdesignbyavenue.com/), you can work with three talented designers via the Internet to get a complete design and all the goods you need through their service. Looks like fun to me! I loved scrolling through their Design Styles tool. I lean towards French and Spanish styles - who knew?

A New Friend!

Today I made a new friend, Annie Anthony, Director of the Cape Fear Volunteer Center.

Annie had reviewed my book in progress, 31 Days to Personal Mastery: Create Abundance Through Giving, and asked to meet for lunch.

She had some excellent thoughts about my book, all of which I will incorporate.

We had a fun time getting to know each other while dining at The Basics, a soul-food restaurant in Downtown Wilmington on Front Street by the Cotton Exchange.

I look forward to getting to know Annie and learning more ways we can help each other in our various initiatives. Thanks Annie, for suggesting lunch! I had a great time!

A Memorable Mother's Day

Although I wasn't able to spend Mother's Day in person with our children or grandchildren, Bruce and I took the day off and had fun!
We took our books to the newly re-opened pool at the Brunswick Forest Wellness Center.
Then we went to Downtown Wilmington to visit with our friends, Joan and Mike Loch, at the Crescent Moon. Downtown was teeming with people due to the Mother's Day restaurant crowd and a throng of tourists from the American Spirit cruise ship docked beside the river walk.










There was one showstopper in the crowd!













It's really important to stop and smell the roses! Thanks again, Liz!










I had a lovely phone conversation with our oldest son, Rich, a lovely and lively conversation with our daughter, Liz, as she drove from Maine to Connecticut with her three beautiful children emoting in the car, and a laugh-filled video conversation with our youngest son, Pete, and his girlfriend, Hailey. All in all, it was a memorable Mother's Day. Thank you, family!
