Interesting things keep popping up as I travel this
journey. I was contacted by a very nice
young woman who found my poem, "A Tired Vagabond", and asked if she
could share it on her blog. I was very
flattered that she had found it and liked it enough to wish to share it with
others. Christy ask if she could put the
poem on her blog, Poetic Parfait. I
felt very honored that she had found my poem which is also in this book as well
as in the Pulse
Points of a Woman's World book.
Christy is in British Columbia and has quite a following.
I have
had more invitations to interview on blogs.
It is nice to know that fellow authors reach out to help each
other. Sometimes one can get so caught
up in their personal goals that they fail to reach out to their fellowman.
Sometime ago, I wrote a blog series on
bladder cancer and women. Today, I wrote
to thank the managing editor of Healthy
Women, Marcia Mangum Cronin, to thank her for allowing me to blog about
bladder cancer and women. It was that
blog series that re-kindled the urge to write the book, Traveling
a Rocky Road with Love, Faith and Guts.
I heard back from her and could not believe that she was gracious enough
to write a follow-up on my story and how it has led to writing of this book. I will keep you posted on when the article is
online.
BTW, I
am enlisting my husband Tom to be my secretary to help me with all the emails
coming in on the book. :) I am overwhelmed by all the responses. It is wonderful, maybe my dream to create awareness of bladder cancer and inspire others will all come true.
There are
more updates on the way. Stay tuned!!!
It is so wonderful to see that the wheels are turning and you are picking up momentum! You know I am with you all the way! Congrats! Kudos to secretary Tom :)
