#CozyMoment Friday: A Cozy Welcome



"A Cozy Welcome"


Lately, I've been splitting my time between my home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and my sister and brother-in-law's lovely house in Colorado. I'm lucky to be able to have a job that allows me to travel so frequently like that. But often times when I travel, I find it hard to buckle down and get to work. There's just something about being away from the Santa Fe home office that makes me want to do just about anything but work. I swear - my mind actually seeks out distractions to keep me from writing! 

However, I've been getting some great work in during this visit to Colorado. And much of that is because of this wonderful desk area my very thoughtful sister has set up for me here in the office of her house. It has a window with a view of several flowering trees outside in the backyard -- and a view of all the wind, rain, sun, and snow that has descended upon Denver this past week, too. The work space also has a vase of fresh orange tulips and a beautiful handmade wooden planter filled with bright green succulents. It's such a serene and peaceful area, and I've been able to enjoy all the beauty of spring while I write. And consequently, I've been zipping along on my next book, Bulldogs & Bullets!

It's really special when somebody's so thoughtful and makes you feel so welcome in their home. It's been a highlight of the past few days for me, and that's why I've entitled this week's cozy moment "A Cozy Welcome." 

What about you? What was your cozy moment this week? Comment below or on my Facebook page, and enter for a chance to win a free copy of Menace in Christmas River, the most recent book in the Christmas Cozy Mystery series! Winners will be drawn at random, and will be announced on Monday. Good Luck!

    2. Hi, Meg!
      Eileen's moment rocks the house...Ireland and sunshine and daisies and little kids...omg, how heavenly :)
      Okay, mine is super basic, but my cozy moment was this afternoon when I took a two-hour nap, with a little heater on,and extremely comfortable blankets and pillows tucked up around me while the snowrain continued to fall outside my window. I was exhausted from one of those tossing and turning nights, so it really was quite spectacular and cozy!

  2. Hello Meg! Happy #cozymoment Friday! Mine happened this week at 5:30am a crazy thunderstorm came though and my Great Pyrenees jumped up on the bed and she sat down..squashing me greatly! The rain was so loud outside and the bed was so comfortable and my big ol dog was so happy with the pets she was getting. It was a real cozy moment and I was feeling thankful to have a roof over my head, and a wonderful husband and amazing 115lb dog all crammed onto our bitty queen bed. ❤ doesn't get much more cozy if you ask me! Happy Friday Meg!
