I'm Back from Vacation & Other News by Stacy Duplease of Stories by Stacy

Hello, everyone! I'm finally back from vacation. I hope to be able to start to write in this at least three days a week, if not five. We shall see.

OMAHA TO LAS VEGAS
My hubby and I, as you know, moved from Denver to Omaha in July. Then, his job moved us to Las Vegas temporarily. We'll be back in Omaha in July. So, greetings to you from Northwest Las Vegas.

Hence, I just moved twice in six months and across statelines. I never lived outside of Colorado until July 2009 and found this latest move much easier than the last. Thank God. But, that's not to say it wasn't stressful. I just adjusted much easier than I imagined and am grateful for that.

I never realized how much living with the mountains in the background was so critical in my life until now. My life is not the same without seeing them. Hence, the temporary move to Las Vegas is actually a huge blessing. (I won't rub it in how wonderful the weather is and how that helps, too.) But, in Omaha, there are no mountains and it impacted me more than I even knew.

HOLIDAYS
I hope your Christmas and New Year's were special and memorable. I sure enjoyed being able to celebrate both back at home in Denver. It was a huge blessing to me to be able to be there for the holidays. I'm ready for the new year and the new decade. How about you?

NEXT VACATION
I just want to give you some heads-up. I'll be going on vacation in May for a writer's conference and will head to Estes Park Colorado for the third year in the row. I can't wait. So, you're stuck with me until then.

NEW BLOG
If you want to learn about the following, check out my new blog. I'm writing a book titled,

"Remembering Your Present:
How to Live Fully & Leave Your Legacy
Through Journaling, Blogging, or Keeping a Diary"

The book goes with the blog. You can check out the blog at:

http://www.rememberingyourpresentdiary.blogspot.com/

It's about claiming the present moment as sacred and leaving your legacy for your family and the world through journaling.

I haven't been this excited about a project in a long time.

I'll write more tomorrow. Have a great day and evening!

Blessings.
