Week 171!
This has been a week of practicing my Colleague Feedback tour over and over and over again. Nigel tells me I’m ready, but I just know I’m going to fluff something! I have two very good friends coming who know the VTS protocol so that should help quite a bit. With a VTS tour, you really need the guests to talk. So, I’m not worried about the actual tour. I’m more worried about the greeting, the transitions, and the ending. Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am always aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight my good friend, Suzy from Suzy Turner.
Suzy says, “Welcome! I’m Suzy Turner—a British author, YouTuber and creative soul living in Portugal. Here you’ll find personal style, everyday magic, creativity, books, and the occasional brush with the supernatural. After many years writing fiction, I recently published my first non-fiction book, The Enchanted Midlife, exploring how to embrace midlife with curiosity, creativity and a little everyday magic. You can find it here: https://amzn.to/46NUwAQ” Suzy is amazingly creative and is just such a wonderfully cool person! Please stop by Suzy’s site (here), and tell her we sent you!

You’re welcome, Nancy! Thanks for linking up with us!
And even IF you fluff something, that’s okay, especially if it’s just the start, transitions, and endings. We all make mistakes and I often thought that people don’t mind a mistake much if you deal with it the right way like, say, with a little laugh. You’ve got this.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks, my friend! I did flub a couple of times, but I didn’t even realize it. The wording on the questions for VTS is very specific, and I substituted a word for another. I really work hard on not doing that, but, in the moment, you just mess up sometimes.
Marsha,
My Entries for today’s party are # 20, 21 and 22!!
Thanks so much for hosting!! I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into it along with visiting all the links!! I hope you are enjoying your week and you are doing well…
