Happy Wednesday to everyone!

In May of 2011, I attended the Washington Romance Writer’s annual Retreat. It turned out to be one of the most amazing weekends ever. Among many awesomesauce things that happened, I bonded with some other newbies and together we formed the Waterworld Mermaids, a group blog site by “fantastic women writers.”

I blog there at least once a month (sometimes more) about a whole manner of things – writing, life, my dog. And guess what? Today is one of my blogging days. This year I’ve been focusing on losing weight and feeling better about myself. I invented The Sparkle Plan, a strategy to improve my health and well-being. I set small monthly goals to help achieve a couple of larger goals, like losing twenty pounds and running a 5K.

Today’s post is Month 5 and you can view it here. I hope you’ll stop by to see how I did. (Hint: It’s good news!)

Here are the Waterworld Mermaids in 2012 at our 2nd annual WRW Retreat.
