Thanks for reading the July 2024 issue of This Awful Awesome Life. I hope you enjoy the Mango Salsa recipe in “The Twelve Months of Salsa.” Previous issues are available to read on our website. Go to www.thisawfulawesomelife.com and start scrolling or you can enter specific search criteria.
August is our Month of Travel in This Awful Awesome Life. We’ll take a look at some of your favorite vacation destinations and a few “off the beaten path” places you should consider.
Orlando Bartro and I will be back with interesting articles for you.
We’ll have another author birthday and our next salsa recipe because you need something tasty to snack on while you read the August issue.
We’re moving some of our regular features around to shake things up a bit and keep you on your toes.
I’ll have more streaming and reading recommendations. “What’s in a Word?” and “Dare to Believe,” will be back but we’ll be alternating some of our content. We’ll continue the monthly quizzes to exercise our brains, and we’ll continue reviewing books.
I’ll have a short story for you, and since my kitchen reno only has a few things left on the punch list, I hope to have photos for you.
I’m not sure if we’ll have a Q&A for you next month. I’m considering who would best fit our traveler theme. I know someone who has made a recent trip to Vietnam, and I might just be able to convince her to write an article or fill out a Q&A.
Stay safe. Stay well. You are important, and you are loved.
All my best,
Fran
