*~*~*
February
- I completed work on Malcolm (Book #10 of Montana Bounty Hunters: Dead Horse, MT) and published it!
- I began work on What Happens in Bozeman, my next We are Dead Horse, MT, book!
- I completed 3 editing projects for other authors in February.
Health-related:
- I visited my heart doctor, and he was so pleased with my progress I don’t have to see him for another year!
- I continued concentrating on drinking more water, plus, I continued drinking water mixed with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar twice a day to improve my liver health. I began drinking one cup of Turmeric tea a day.
- I’ve managed to keep my blood pressure down to 135-155, despite the fact I haven’t lost any weight. Gah.
Happiness-related:Â
- I began the #the100dayproject art challenge.
- I led a hands-on program for the local art guild using Gelli plates to produce pretty papers for things like collage. (See the tags I made below, which were painted using Gelli plates!)
- Here are some examples of art projects I completed in February.
March
 - To complete writing What Happens in Bozeman, my next We are Dead Horse, MT, book, which releases on March 19th!
- To begin work on my next Brotherhood Protectors book!
- To complete 4 editing projects in March!
- To finish reading and selecting stories from among the submissions for the upcoming collection—Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology!
For health related, I plan:
- To start back on my Weight Watchers diet, because it’s time to get serious! I HAVE to get back in the saddle!
- To continue to reduce salt and processed food, and incorporate foods good for blood pressure (spinach, broccoli, bananas) and my liver (apple cider vinegar, flax seeds, sunflower seeds).
- To begin daily workouts using my recumbent bike and some chair yoga exercises.
For happiness-related, I plan:Â
- To continue #the100daychallenge where I’ll be painting something every single day!
- To meet three of my favorite author-friends for a luncheon to get some writer time!

Another Brotherhood Protectors book. Can’t wait. Love that world! Me? I am moving again. Working on improving my mental health as well as my physical health. Always an ongoing project. I have recently learned that diet may affect both. Will continue to investigate that as well.

I recently got a Cricut Joy machine so I’m working on making vinyl items to redecorate my house. I can get lost in playing with this machine, it’s my new addiction. LOL

I like your goals and your art. I was going into kidney failure caused by medications. So we have adjusted some and the numbers are looking better.
