When I was in the battle trenches of motherhood, time alone was as splendid as ceasefire. But times have changed and now, time alone, is more of the norm. So much, that I reach out to spend time with others instead of being alone.
My half-week in Malibu was by myself so I called Melissa and was lucky to spend two of my free nights with her.
My upcoming week in Century City at the SCBWI-LA was also going to be spent alone--until I learned a dear friend and her daughter have to be in LA. I offered my hotel room for the company I will enjoy. A simple call to the Hyatt and they changed my king size room to double beds. I'll work and concentrate hard during the conference then hopefully will have friends to dine with at night. Life is good and inclusive.

Wish I could come with you! I tried to figure out a way to go to SCBWI-LA, but it's just not happening this year. Bleh. You'll have to tell me how it goes.
