Sorry to say . . .

Image

I’m sorry to say that I’m going to have to postpone today’s Creative Mojo again. After days of bed rest and no matter how I try to will myself well, I really cannot move my lips or tongue. My dear friend, Nessa Reifsnyder. is calling my g

uests for me to try to reschedule them once again. I see a new specialist tomorrow and hopefully I will get some kind of answer. I guess the jig is up and I have to come clean that I’m simply not as well as I might seem to be on social media. I would post photos of my lips and mouth, but they are too grisly — so I’ll spare you all! See you next week. 😦 xoxom
