Oh, It’s Tuesday: Good Conversation
To my great surprise, the best part of being out on the road for the book is getting the chance to talk to friends for long unadulterated periods of time. There’s an ugly thread in certain movies, in which women are accused of talking too much (almost always by men).
But in my opinion, we don’t get the chance to really talk to each other enough. I’ve had several meaningful one-on-one conversations with different friends over the past six months. And I already know that when I look back on this time in my life, this is what I’ll remember: the talking, which we so rarely have or make time to do anymore.

Hey Ernessa, it’s true–even for guys. Few memories are as durable as good conversation with friends. Happy to read your book touring has been so enjoyable–I know everyone in the audience at the SoCal Writer’s Conference enjoyed your speech just as thoroughly! And hey, I love my book dedication you wrote for me! It was an honor to meet you–and I’m loving “32 Candles” (and the site). Cheers!
Marty!
So great to hear from you! It was a pleasure meeting you at the conference. Good luck with your project!
All my best,

It is so true…time just slips away admist the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Between being a career professional, wife and mother it is hard to be a great friend to all. I find myself making tough choices about the friends I truly make time for…those lifetime friends who are in many ways closer than family. But those other friends…more than acquaintances but not nearly family…I cannot remember the last time I have been able to sit down and connect with them and I miss that.
Write a book, Monique. I’m telling you, it’s the best way to reconnect…
