HAPPY NOVEMBER

Hi Readers,

The season will soon change and the leaves will be replaced with snow. Let's remember to be thankful for all of our friends, family, jobs, blessings, schools, _________ fill in the blank. This is also a good time to make sure we are satisfied with ourselves. Can you be more grateful for someone that you appreciate? Are you happy with your grades in school? I made some changes in my career recently and now I am writing more than I have in a long time but I am also happier. There is nothing wrong with change. The seasons do it! :) Enjoy your day and I hope to see you in Southgate from 2-4 today. You made my day by reading. I'll try to make your's by writing.

Much To Do about everything

Hi Readers!
I've been very busy this week which got me to thinking about the way that I treat people when I am on a mission. It is very easy to be nice to others when I have time on my hands but when I have a lot going on and I am stressed....that's when it can get scary. So what I've discovered is that I have to evaluate myself during hectic times more than typical. When my to-do list is full I should be full of compassion for others not short-tempered and self-serving. One of the goals of "Who I am not what I am" is to make people think about the way we accept ourselves and others. I don't believe we can be truly happy with ourselves if we treat others harshly or unfairly. Food for thought:) Please mark your calendars for Southgate! This Saturday I will be at the Southgate Center Mall from 2-4 at Walden Books. I hope that you can make it!

Southgate on Saturday!

This Saturday I will be signing books at the Southgate Center Mall in Michigan. I will be at the Walden Books from 2-4. I'd love to see you and chat with you about my book and sign one out for someone special on your list! The thing that I love most about the signings is that I am able to engage with people. I meet people with dreams to write and I feel as though just by being present I help them to realize that it can happen for them too if they want it. With that in mind remember that my Creative Writing workshop is next Wednesday from 11-1 in Novi, MI. Please attend if you have a interest in writing we will have a great time and hopefully make some great memories! In November I will be doing signings in Michigan all month so if you can't make Southgate remember that I will be in Auburn Hills and Westland this month as well. More workshops are on the way too. Please book your calendar for November 13th from 6-8 my first evening workshop will take place for those who enjoy writing but are not able to make the day series. A Weekend one is on the way as well as a childrens/teen series.

Thanks for reading!

New territory!

Hi Readers!

Today I have a signing at Oxmoor Center Mall in Louisville, Ky. I am so grateful for the experiences that "Who I am not what I am" has offered me. I have been able to travel to New Jersey, Chicago, Ohio, KY, Pennsylvania and all the Michigan area to spread the message of diversity, inclusion and self-esteem to kids! I am so excited to take this on as a full-time career and truly have a passion for my work. I hope that you will be able to personally join me on these incredible journeys where I learn more about myself as I meet others and learn about them. Stay tuned! Next week's stop is in Cinci, OH. :)

Make it a great day and don't ask for permission to be wonderful!
