Happy Father’s Day

This year we spent Father’s Day locally at our son Jake’s in Hastings. My dad Vaclav and Ella also came for some quality family time and grill near the Yankee Springs​ area and Gun Lake.

Usually we travel 500 miles deep into the Midwest to the banks of the Mississippi River in Prairie du Chien, WI for the fur traders Rendezvous.  It is also a rendezvous with our Des Moines friends Sheryl and Brian. We’re sorry that we missed it.

We didn’t go this year due to logistics surrounding the upcoming release of my new book “Shifting Sands Short Stories” which will be released on June 30 on Amazon. The book is now available for pre-order at https://www.amazon.com/Emma-Palova/e/B0711XJ6GY

I’m very excited as I am ligning up my booksigning on July 16 at the Fallasburg one-to-one school house from 1 to 4 pm.

Everyone is welcome. Pictured below are all the men in my life except for my brother Vas Konecny.

Don’t Be Late… Don’t Make People Wait For You

I’ve always hated being late for anything. It puts you at a great disadvantage if you want to position yourself for pictures, story or an interview.
You don’t get the best seat in the house. And you miss out on the insider’s scoop.
Being ready and prepared is always the best strategy to success, and a roadway to new friendship.

When You Have A Break In Your Day, Go For A Walk

I usually go for a walk in the morning to start the day right, and to fuel my writing inspiration.
However, when I am on a writing streak, I write and then I walk.
The order of the walking and writing doesn’t really matter as long as I get in both.

Love yourself 

I am working on finding ways to love myself every day.

Everything changes in time from minute to minute, including love to oneself and to others.

I find ways to love myself in nature, by her constant changing moods.

Taurus Daily Horoscope

The full moon brings on the need to be outspoken about a conflict.

Outspoken, but carefully outspoken because evil will stick out its ugly heads again.

The only weapon against evil and ignorance is unconditional love and understanding.
