Yes, that’s me jumping for joy! Wonderful, fun, exciting things are happening in my life!
A brand new website for Mimi On Life will be launching this week. Blog posts are found on the site, along with information on books, my writing journey and other special items. There may even be a few giveaways from time to time, so be sure to sign up for the newsletter.
Drum roll….. I am pleased to announce the release of my first children’s book. Licky the Lizard is a delightful story with lessons of God’s love for all of us. It is available in paperback as well as for Kindle.
Thank you to everyone for all the encouragement and inspiration. Special thanks to my family for their patience
Most of all, I give praise and thanks to God for guiding me along the way. His love and mercy is forever.
Blessings,
Mimi
Congratulations!

Congratulations, Mimi! Good for you! Actually, I have a deep affection for lizards. We have had one who is quite tame the last two years who suns on the back porch. I named him Lenny the Lizard, and a smaller one who I believe is his “wife” I named Linda. LOL. Lenny never runs away when we talk to him, just chills in his favorite corner. Then he became attached to my mother’s sandals that sit on a bottom shelf of an outdoor teacart. He began sleeping in the shoe at night. It was really too cute!

Karen, how cute! Writing this story actually is helping me get over my fear of lizards. I decided to like them instead of always being afraid. haha!! 🙂 Licky and Lenny and Linda could be friends. haha!

Oh yes, lizards are the cutest! Now we have teeny babies who scurry around in the garden outside the windows. Of course they don’t know we love them and would never harm them. It’s funny how I give names to all of them and talk to them too! Lol. But I talk to my plants as well. I guess I really need another poodle. 🙄. I’m sure I’ll get over talking to plants and lizards when I finally have some grandchildren to spoil. ☺️
