Leaps of Fate

It's been raining in the Northwest for 24 days in a row. We're talking big fat raindrops -- not sprinkles -- which have cause mudslides, road closures, rivers swelling to flood stage. Ugh. Everything is wet.

In our neck of the woods, we've witnessed the reemergence of Lake DH. All around the cabin we're building, a moat is forming. Luckily, the cabin is built up high and the water hasn't reached it. Boone the Lab, of course, thinks the lake is fab --he's wading, playing, and now leaping after toys in the water.

We're taking our own leaps, too. The DH and I have decided that we're done working in Alaska every summer. We're retiring from the summer vagabond life of lodges and resorts. It was a hard decision to make, but we're thinking that it's time to stay home. I'm putting it out there to the universe for something good to come and fill the summer hole Alaska will leave.

In the meantime, I'm pressing on with my WIP -- a paranormal YA. Now, with more than half the book completed, I'm feeling like it was a good leap to take. Not a leap of faith alone, but a leap of fate. It was a leap that was well worth it -- a leap from a comfortable genre, to something different, something incredibly fun.

What leaps are you taking in your life this week?
