I turned in Designed for Love, book #4 of the Texas Nights series, at the end of January with a sigh of relief. Yes, I still have edits to do, but I have now delivered all four books in my Carina contract!
And I realized I haven’t been off deadline for over 15 months. I’m not whining, believe me, having work to do is fabulous! But it did make me realize it was time to recharge, something I haven’t been particularly good about while getting these first few books out into the world.
I’d love for 2014 to be a year with a little more balance and recharge time. These are a few ways I like to recharge:
- Sit on the deck
- Lay in a hammock
- Watch Scandal, Castle, or Downton Abbey
- Read (although much less than I used to 🙁 )
- Take a walk
- Take a bath
- Play with some other creative pursuit like collaging, crocheting, or jewelry-making
I’d love to add some new ideas to my list—what do you do to recharge?

Today is Love Your Pet Day. Hey, that’s a great way to decompress and recharge too. So spend a little time with your dog, cat, iguana, or llama!
