And so this week’s moment of happiness despite the news.
Well, actually, not so much. This is going to be very short. I was in a car accident last night. I was at a full stop when I was rearended by a Ram truck going full speed. Driver was a kid still on his probationary license. And of course, he has no insurance. My car, my beloved 2018 Chrysler 300S named Barry, because he’s a berry color and if he could speak, he’d sound like Barry White, will need a new rear driver’s side side panel, a new bumper, and I’m not sure what else yet. I’m being treated for whiplash and muscle strain. Today, I went into a full fibromyalgia flare-up, so I’m basically just one big ache.
It hurts to move. And my shoulder feels like a dead weight on my neck, and so it hurts to type.
So this is all I’m going to say today, for my Moment. I’m glad my car wasn’t totaled. I’m glad I’m not more injured. I’m glad I’m alive.
And in the middle of all this today, I received what my new cover of my novel, Hope Always Rises, will look like. I wrote about that book last week. And today…I saw its face.
And I read my own words. Hope Always Rises.
“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” Julian of Norwich.
“Hope Always Rises.” Kathie Giorgio.
And yes, that helps. Despite. Anyway.

I’m so glad you’re (relatively) okay! And that Barry wasn’t totaled!! And yes, Hope Always Rises! Congratulations, and thank you for the important reminder ❤️🥰
Thank YOU!
