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 too short to skip the chololate!

On February 1st I made a pledge to write a book in 28 days. Many of you followed me and supported me as I went through that process. In 26 days of work I completed 'How To Get and Keep A Job." It is a book that not only helps you get a job but shows you how to keep it and be on the leading edge in this competitive market. As one publisher said, "If this is not a needed book in the country, I don't know what would be." An HR Training Manager who reviewed it said, "Read it! Do It!"

Well....138 days from inception I was offered a contract from a top ten publisher! Today was certainly a 'chocolate' day for me!! We still have a few questions to discuss, but if all goes well, on Monday we will be on our way. The ideas are flowing....this book needs to be in many places as soon as possible. It needs to be where it can help people with the financial challenges that almost 10% of the nation is dealing with right now. I pray that the Lord will guide us as we make those choices and I cherish your prayers as well.

Thanks for staying with me on this journey. Invite others to enjoy the trip and we will travel together to see where this leads.
