Take Time

As part of the wonderful goodies bag from the RWA Clayton's Conference 2009, I received a bookmark, hand painted by one of the talented participants, Mary De. On the back she had this inspirational poem...

TAKE TIME (author unknown)

Take time to Work - it is the price of Success
Take time to Think - it is the source of Power
Take time to Play - it is the secret of Youth
Take time to Read - it is the fountain of Wisdom
Take time to Dream - it is the highway to the Stars
Take time to Look Around - it is the shorcut to Unselfishness
Take time to be Friendly - it is the road to Happiness
Take time to Laugh - it is the music of the Soul

In a world where we seem to always be on fast forward, always rushing from A to B, trying to get so much done and getting more behind, it is easy to forget. But we all need to slow down and Take Time. Life would be so much nicer if we did.

Clayton's Conference

I recently was involved in the RWA Clayton's Conference - the conference you attend when you can't make the face-to-face conference (running online simultaneously with the RWA Conference). The conference you can attend in your PJs.

Compliments to the wonderful ladies who organised and ran the weekend. And to all the fantastic members of RWA who contributed in some way to make it the success it was.

With many fabulous sessions and an awards night to rival the 'real' one, it certainly made up for those unable to make the trek to Brisbane. Writing chats, writing challenges, writing competitions – there were even competitions for the best PJ’s and best Fake Book Cover.

Winner - Best Fake Book Cover

If I can't make a conference I'll certainly be joining in the Clayton's.
