A Rebirth!

Yeah, I know... it's been a while. But I'm back. Why? Cause I've got something to say... duh...

I'm feeling like getting back into the swing of things... as Lori and I are finalizing the layout of book #2, Getting to the Heart of Respect (yes, I know, I know... you needed it yesterday), it seems as though sales are picking up for Getting to the Heart of Complimenting. Just yesterday, I received orders from Illinois, Georgia, New Jersey and Oregon! Yay!

So, out comes the Sharpie red marker (three of the books were personally signed for a family, a teacher and a school). Invoices and package labels were printed. A thank-you card and some complimentary Compliment Cards (love that!) were lovingly placed inside the packages. Let's not forget to decorated the shipping box with a cute little "Your Blooming Heart Book is Inside" sticker... a nice touch, plain and simple...

It felt so good to put the packages together and take them to the post office. It's feeling fresh again. And super fun, too... soon I'll be getting page sketches daily from Lori... and seeing the pages come alive with depth and color can't be described in words.

Anyway, I'll be here on my blog... hopefully every single day. School is ending. Summer is beginning. Time for new fun and excitement. Time for sharing my daily life as a mother of four, as well as my adventures as an author of children's books.

Thanks for chiming in... stay tuned!
