The eighth month of the year has arrived, and I always see the infinity symbol when you talk about “8,” so I’ve nicknamed August the “infinity month.”
For me, the infinity month is a month of powerful possibilities. Opportunities that are “life-altering” are usually associated with this month for me, and true to form, this one is no different.
I’ve finished the edits for the Scrapbook Series audiobooks and will soon release them on all the available audiobook platforms, Audible included. One more special thing will be the release of a boxed set of the Prequal: Memories of Tomorrow, Book 1—Tomorrow’s Promise, and Book 2—Crossing Yesterday. I’m so very excited about these audio releases! As soon as I have the ISBN for the boxed set, I’ll include it in my monthly blog article as well.
Ok, moving on to the next topic of discussion: my relocation to Tuscaloosa from Arkansas.
This has been a pretty tough move for more reasons than one, but I’m about to get my nest made. I laugh as I write that phrase “nest made”. My mom used to know a lady that moved every few years, and my mom would invariably refer to her moves as “re-feathering her nest”. Mom used to say, “She just can’t stay in one place very long without moving about and committing to a re-feathering”.
I think those words marked me for life. I looked back and calculated (to the best of my feeble memory) my many moves throughout my life – I stand now at 26. That’s a LOT of moves…even more than my sister, who is retired from the military. There is so much irony and comedy in that realization, and it will be a topic for another article, another month.
For this article, let’s return to the adventurous and magical month of August. I got married for the first time in August. My first grandchild arrived in August. I released my first book in August. And this year, there are some really magical things in the pipeline that I cannot reveal to my readers just yet, but soon, dear reader, very soon.
For now, let’s just concentrate on the “infinity” of August. The infinity symbol often represents harmony and balance, renewal, the male and female duality, the universe's eternity, or the circle of life. Those are some powerful elements for one small symbol. And I can with much certainty say that’s exactly where I find myself this month: during a period of renewal, harmony, and balance in my life.
My time is Arkansas was briefer than I originally thought it would be, but it was exactly what destiny determined it would be. I’m looking so forward to building a community of friends, family, and life in Tuscaloosa.
I’ve never been one to give myself over to sadness or sorrow for very long, and this time in my life is no different; I will feel those emotions for a period of time, and then I cannot help but look up and see the sun, feel its warmth on my face, and look forward to the coming day, metaphorically and literally.
That’s where I find myself today, looking at the sun and looking forward to the coming day.
Join me, readers, in looking forward to tomorrow with hope, happiness, and a book in hand!
Until next month dear reader, stay safe, happy and well read!
Natalie
