You Heard it Here First

Hi friends, 

Happy Wednesday!

We are back from our wedding in Mexico and can't wait to share more photos from the day with you.

For today, we have other big news:

Layne's WRITING WEBSITE has officially launched. Back story: Layne and her friend Lindsay have been writing together for years. A couple of years ago they decided to write a book together and last fall they decided to write a second book as well.

But too much nattering about it: go check it out HERE.

If you like Layne, reading, writing, or book recommendations you'll definitely want to check it out. There have links to our socials and you can sign up to get our blog updates for all of you who are interested. 

Thanks and thanks and THANKS for all your support. And a special THANKS to Kevin for all his hard work on designing our website and logo.

xo.

Writing Weekend.

I wanted to fill you in on last weekend's writing club in Omaha.

But first, I have a confession, and it goes something like this:

Once upon a time, I was playing silly roadtrip games with one of my friends, and when she asked me what I'd bring with me on my deserted island, without hesitation, I said, "Notebook and pen." Unfortunately, I failed to bring my camera.

And when our financial advisor asked Jon and me our ideal retirement ages, I said 45, "So I can write."

Basically, reading and writing would be my Other Dream Job. Don't get me wrong, I love leadership development, Francis Becks and shooting proposals, weddings and portraits all over Toronto, but at the end of the day, writing is my happy place.

I daily crave writing time. 

I compose sentences in my head as I'm walking down the street and happily edit and re-edit our current novel to make it the best version of itself.

Writing is my therapy.

So I guess I'm trying to let you know that the 40ish hours we spent editing in Omaha was a heap of hard work and we made more of a mess than I'd hoped, but every minute of it was water for my soul. We're still in the middle of our final editing process and *hope* to have it out by next spring.

We'll keep you posted.

Here's to dreaming.
