Out-of-Office Reply

Greetings. You have reached Musings of a Fierce Mind, the official blog of author Stephanie Saye. I’m sorry I can’t come to my blog right now, but I am soaking up the sun on the sugar-white beaches of Destin, Florida, for some serious R&R. If you’d like to leave a comment, I’d be happy to answer you whenever the hell I want upon my return. I’m on vacation, people, and ain’t nothing or no one gonna stress me out – not even a 12-hour car trip with a newly potty trained three-year-old, who refuses to go pee-pee or poo-poo in public restrooms because the flushing sound of the toilet is “too scary, mommy.” Not even the fact that my lily white skin burns at the very thought of a sunbeam reflecting off the water. Or the fact that I am spending seven days and seven nights in the same beach house with MY ENTIRE FAMILY. I’m talking the grandparents, people! And not even double negatives and bad grammar, which I scathingly detest, can get me down now. Typos, I laugh at you! Writer’s block, let me introduce you to my middle finger, who is more than eager to show you just where you can stick it. *demonstrates said gesture*

While I’m away, here are a few things I want you to remember:

-be kind to yourself whenever you can;

-cut yourself some slack when you make mistakes;

-and for the sake of your blood pressure and your loved ones, don’t fret over the little stuff, because life’s too damn short to spend all balled up.

So until next week …

Believe. Always.
