How My House Almost Burned Down!

I also dodged a real life fire 30 minutes ago! Hubby emptied the waterbed ’cause carpeters are installing tomorrow, and he left the heater on!!! I started to smell something plasticky. Thought it was paint from the bathroom. Ignored it for a while, but the smell got more intense and it was only upstairs. I dialed hubby, and he said, “oh, no. I didn’t turn the heater off.” I removed my comforter which I piled on my bed to make room for boxes, and lo’ and behold…It was SMOLDERING! The heater ate through the plastic cover and charred my comforter. Good thing I was planning on getting a new one and good thing my ol’ snaz was working! Or we wouldn’t have had a house to sell! Maybe I’ll get around to posting a photo later. But from the look of my house, don’t plan on it!

Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
