A Pleaser in the Making
Wow – where did the time go? There’s a little less than a week left in February and it’s proven to be an eventful month thus far. “Common Threads” made its much-anticipated debut as evidenced by the stack of boxes in my garage and in the warehouse of my distributor, New Century Press. My husband finally had the opportunity to read it for the first time, as did our children and the reviews were glowing! Unconditional love is a wonderful thing … as therapeutic as it was to finally share the stories that have been the fodder for my principles as an adult, I was still a little nervous about how the truth would resonate with the people in my life who never knew about the big bumps in my path as a child and poor decisions I made as a young adult. I crossed my subconscious fingers in hopes that they would judge me by who I am today rather than what occurred during my life in the past and I have not been disappointed.
This month marks my 60th Birthday – who knew that sweet little kindergartener (how could you not love a face like that?) would get so old so fast! Certainly not me – today’s 60 is the new 40! I don’t feel much older inside – it’s just that pesky mirror and all that bright light that puts a damper on things. I’ll just do the best I can with what I have and try to remember what Gretchen, an awesome aesthetician told me once during one of her amazing facials, “I have one word for you – slather!” She was referring to how I should be applying lotion. Good tip …
March is the “ramping up” month in preparation for the official announcement for “Common Threads” in April so you’ll be hearing and seeing much more of me going forward. The book is available on Amazon right now and will be available in Barnes & Noble and Borders in March. If they don’t have it on the shelf, ask them to order it! My messages are loud and clear and the inspiring stories of the nine other women profiled are nothing less than amazing. I’ll update as the future unfolds.
