I was so surprised! My TATE Marketing Rep Chris
never even let on that the book would be available. Of course I am happy but I am also a bit [actually] a lot teary, and I am very nervous about how the book will be
received.
I am joining Mommy Digger and her friends for some monkey hopping: http://www.mommydigger.com
So much else has been going on; I am so behind on EVERYTHING!! I have been having some difficulty with my health [that pesky concussion and my cognitive difficulties] so I apologize. I had a very weird ER experience this pastweekend…that will need to be a full post…
I happen to be a blogger that really appreciates receiving awards. Seriously, some of them are just so pretty. I also appreciate the kindness behind them.
I am, however, a bit overwhelmed with them at the moment. I am going to take care of (2) of them here. I have received (2) more and I will take care of them next week. Thank you all for thinking of me!
Ruth, from http://ruththewriter.blogspot.com has offered me
the “The Versatile Blogger Award.” This
is my 4th Versatile Blogger Award and quite special. I now actually believe I am Versatile!
Sheri, from http://sheriswift.blogspot.com, has bestowed me with the “One Lovely Blog
Award.” I did not have this one. It is very pretty…thank-you Sheri
I am going to choose my 15 bloggers and give them
their choice of either or both awards. It’s not cheating; I’m just versatile! So first I will reveal 7 random facts about myself and then I will choose 15 recipients; who must thank the giver, reveal 7 random facts and then pass on to 15bloggers.
Seven Random Facts about me:
1) Purple is my favorite color.
2) My strength is my ability to empathize.
3) My biggest fault is my empathy. I
take a lot of crap before I fight back.
4) I met my husband, John, online. We have an amazing love story.
5) We have 2 dogs, Lance and Louie. They are lacy haired terriers and they were given to us by John’s ex-wife. I’m not
such a “dog” person but I am hopelessly in love with these little guys.
6) I was born in Jacksonville, Florida.
7) I ADORE being a Mom a wife a bonus Mom, a Mom-Mom and an aunt, and I count those and many other blessings every day.
Okay so for my 15 recipients, I hope you will stop by to visit them I promise you, you will beimpressed. They are all beautiful and
versatile people!

So now I wait again. I will receive my first book’s I am sure after the absolutely wonderfully supportive relatives and friends who have ordered their copies. Thank you all!!
Our Phillies have won their division for the 5th year in
a row…just wow!!
I will leave you with a few of my favorite summertime photo’s…since it is chilly today, in Philadelphia.
My favorite quote this week:
Studies indicate that the one
quality all successful people have is persistence. They’re willing to spend
more time accomplishing a task and to persevere in the face of many difficult
odds. There’s a very positive relationship between people’s ability to
accomplish any task and the time they’re willing to spend on it.
— Dr. Joyce Brothers
Have a powerful and Positive Week!!
