Hello November!

Good Morning and Happy November!

That extra hour was just what I needed. I finally feel well rested and ready to tackle the world again.

I knew October was going to be a crazy month for me. It was hectic, exciting, fun.....but painful at times. I had many reminders of my past in the last month. I explained to a lady the other day that the 'rollercoaster ride' of emotions was EXHAUSTING. There were days this past month, when the road ahead looked so obvious, so maneuverable, so doable. Other days, I felt like I was in a jungle with no clear path to sanity. On those days, I didn't have a machete to cut my way through the jungle; I had a.....pocket knife, a 'dull' one. Most importantly, I had my friends-------who seemingly never get tired of answering my queries.

With every new month comes new hope. I woke up this morning with optimism and peace. This will be the first week in 3 months that I'm not working on my book project! That being said, I'm dropping another box of books off today to the Chapter's in Sherwood Park. My wonderful assistant Leah Ison will be dropping off more books at Coles in Southgate tomorrow.

My website also lists all the stores selling the book, including retailers in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Wetaskiwin, St. Paul, Lac La Biche, Vermilion, Calmar and Red Deer.

This week, is a 'personal errand' week, as I get ready for a trip to New Orleans with my dear friends Tiffany Dowhan and Karen Maluta of Around the World Travel. We, and 40 others head to the 'Big Easy' a week from today.
