Hello from the other side

IMG_3295.jpg

Call it the Adele Effect. Call it the Legacy Effect. Heck, call it a taxi. Doesn’t matter. It just feels really right to blog again. Because, you know, in my mind…I’ve blogged about a thousand tiiiiiiiiiimes.

I stopped writing two years ago, for a really good reason. Something was percolating, and I just didn’t want to be public about it. And it was so important and wonderful, and I just needed to be there. Instead of here. But today, my wonderful thing is off its training wheels. And I can let it go long enough to write a little something of my own. (Queen of Mixed Metaphors, sorry.)

What is my wonderful thing? An independent children’s book company that publishes the best-ever books for babies and toddlers. I got to help found and launch it. Love.

What made me realize I wasn’t finished with my dear ginnygram? Well, thinking that I needed to close down my stories to free up important interspace, I found a printer to bind up my blogs for posterity. The book arrived yesterday. I didn’t even remember half the stories. I loved reading them. I cracked myself up…and made myself cry.

But the real realizing wasn’t because of a what. It was because of a who. My long-ago boyfriend read the book and said I needed to repeat dial.

Thank you, my now-husband.

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!

    • Oh dear, and here I was, convinced that Donald Trump IS/WAS a Kardashian!
