29-Day Giving Challenge

Oh my gosh, I'm about ready to explode. I received my galley (the early reader version of the book) today. This is the softback version of the book that will go out to book reviewers to collect blurbs for marketing purposes. The real book will be hardcover, but seeing the galley makes all of this feel real now.

Here are two photos. The first is me bursting into tears when I pulled the book out of the envelope and got my first look. The second is me sitting on the patio because I decided to go out and do the breathing meditation that our new 29 Gifts educator, Angel Stork suggested we all practice this week in her post, Answer the Call. I hope you'll all join Angel and I as we breathe together this week as a community. I'm so grateful to all of you who have supported this movement with your gifts and your energy. Thank you, thank you, thank you... from the bottom of my full little heart.

If you haven't already, make sure you go pre-order the book, because you'll save $6 off the $19.95 cover price by ordering now. Just click on the little Amazon order button in the right sidebar and you'll be one of the first readers to get the book when it ships on October 9.

Well done Cami! This is fantastic. May you celebrate this accomplishment for many days!

Cami - You finally have that book (galley) in your hot little hands. That's actually very, very fast - about a year ago I sat with you at SFWC for Change & you didn't yet have an agent - think an agent picked you up at that conference. Most writers wait for years...I know you do count your blessings. You do good, so you get good!

Happy day ALL!. This afternoon I will make a pan of shortbread for my Art League meeting. They love Lorna Doones so I thought I'd treat them to the real thing. All the stuff is out on the counter waiting for me to finish a few looming work reports.…
