Loving it that there is no new snow forecast this week. I’m so ready for a little sunshine in my neck of the woods. And, getting ready for Speaking Unplugged—attendees from five states plus Canada. It will be a good weekend.
Alert to all of you in Colorado who are VIP AuthorYOU members … the third of the Saturday AuthorYOU Salons of the year is slated for March 14th. It starts at 8.30 a.m., ending at 11.30 a.m. Bring socks—I share these with the homeless … and it’s going to be chilly this winter. Plus, a snack to share with the group.
Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”. Become a subscriber so you can get
