Greetings from the glorious Sonoran Desert!

I just wanted to update you, friends and readers, on some changes and new **things!** that have been going on lately.

First of all, you *might* have noticed that my name has changed! This was because, well, my name really IS spelled with an "i" and in my editing business, I use Sandi spelled with an "i."

I was getting confused! :-)

So, I've gone back to Sandi Layne. Hope you can find me! Please make sure to change the address on any bookmarks you might have:

Thank you!

**NEWS**NEWS**NEWS**

I've started a web log, aka a BLOG. Isn't that an odd name? I never planned on doing one of these, but then, my editor at Write to Inspire! had the notion to invite some of his regulars to participate in a Blog linked to the e-Zine so...I said, "sign me up."

Thing is, I can't just stop there. A web log is supposed to be a site where you can note favorite websites or jot down thoughts or communicate to others in a group... So I decided to start my own, too. If you want to see what I have to say, please stop by either: http://desertdawn.blogspot.com OR http://wordandflesh.blogspot.com

**Updates**

It's Spring! Here in the desert, that means my acacia tree is blooming fragrantly, the temperatures are up in the 80's occasionally, and my sons can go play in the sprinklers. It means that I am rejuvenated about writing...but also distracted by the lovely weather!

How does the season affect you where you live? I hope it's a positive experience for you!

Well, that's all for now. :-) Just wanted to share with you the latest oddities from my desk. lol

God bless you and yours as we near the celebration of EASTER!
