Lazy Days of Summer...

It is hot!! Have you noticed that? Have you also noticed that when it is hot it makes you want to do nothing but lay around a pool and soak up the sun or curl up in the cool and read a good book? That's me!!

But wait...I have work to do. I still have a 'To Do' list and it doesn't go away just because it is summer. One of the things on my 'To Do' list is to get back into my exercise routine. I have this wonderful, cool, comfortable, cushioned floor, easy access, close to my house, full scheduled gym - that I can't seem to get to. Hummmm. Must be the lazy days of summer. I can't seem to come up with any other excuses.

Sooooo I went today!! I am so proud of me!! I found out very quickly that I am really out of shape and couldn't survive very long even in all of that luxury. Makes me very aware of what I need to do.

Speaking of schedules....we have a pretty short deadline on the stories needed for the next book
of the 'A Cup of Tea for the Heart' series. This one is titled: "Plans Are Made To Be Changed ~ Expect the Unexpected." I haven't written my story. Have you? We don't you to miss being in this book...and maybe...if you get your story in, I will get on the ball and get mine in too! :) How about it????

Life Is Soooooooo Good!!

Wow! I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged! It has been such an exciting month that I just can't keep up.

In the last blog I told you that I was talking with an excellent publisher about my new book, How To Get and Keep A Job. Well...not only did I sign a contract for that book, but Rita and I signed a contract the very same day for the first book of our new A Cup of Tea for the Heart series. This first book is titled: Tough Times Don't Last But Tough Women Do.

My How To Get and Keep A Job book is moving in so many different directions that it is mind boggling! It has as potential for not only being a book for the general public, but for becoming a textbook for high school, colleges, universities and vo-tech schools and a manual for training and retraining employees for new jobs or advancements. There are many plan in the work at this moment...I will try to keep you posted.

The A Cup of Tea for the Heart series is also moving very rapidly. I had the opportunity of attending the International Christian Retail Bookstore convention in St. Louis a week or so ago and meet so many people with whom we are discussing products for you to enjoy with each new book. Stay tuned - it is only going to get more exciting!!
