My friend Heather sent this photo to me this morning. Nothing will ever replace the Heart Rock that today rests on JohnD's grave site but I like the idea of a New Year and a new Heart Rock.
Heather please please send lots of details about this one..........

A few of my Halifax friends awoke to this view today - lucky you! Enjoy it for me please.
It's back to the keyboard today and it feels good. Just prior to December 31st I mailed my novel, Paradise, off to a copy editor who will look at it for me. Paradise is now either part one of a series or part one of two. Not sure yet but it feels good to write again. I have taken a couple weeks off.
What about you? Are you back doing what you love to do?
From the heart,
Carol Ann
PS And From the Heart is coming along well also. It is in the capable hands of my contact at CBCF right now - first draft being kicked around. (Hopefully not being kicked around too hard ...lol)
We all have an empty jar in the kitchen somewhere. Why not begin the year with a resolution to record memories for our children and grandchildren. I have a beautiful box that my sister Lorraine filled with dozens and dozens of ways to record memories but if you don't have a sister like mine to get you started take an empty jar and post-it-notes and begin.
It can be something as simple as a day that warms your heart. It can be a news item that your family might study in school in the future. It can be a look back as you record all of the places you have lived. Or all the jobs you have had. Or your favourite foods.
I am sure you get the idea.
Once you begin you will feel good about doing this I guarantee.
From the heart,
Carol Ann
I guess the picture kind of gives it away - one of my New Year's Resolutions I mean.
"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my waist the most," is a quote that many (or at least some) of you can relate to I suspect.
I am going to exercise more wisely, eat better and only track my results by measuring my waist now and then..............
Wish me luck.

Happy Birthday to "The Boy" my son James Scott. For his 16th birthday I gave James this very cool skinny white leather tie. We dressed up in our best black and whites and headed over to Toby's restaurant on Yonge St. I had purchased my leather pants in Montreal and leather was ultra popular at the time - trust me! I knew James wouldn't wear leather pants but I thought a leather tie might work - and it did.
This is one of my favourite memories.
More about capturing memories later.
From the heart,
Carol Ann
If ever a morning was meant to come with a bit of bubbly in your orange juice this is the morning! Happy New Year everyone.
From the heart,
Carol Ann
