some announcing to do.
Life is a Verb 5-CD set!: Many thanks to all who have bought a pre-production set of the Life is a Verb audiobook–we anticipate shipping the CD sets in May! Because I can't figure out how to change it, the pre-production sale price is good until Monday, April 5th! If you're interested, you can find more info and ordering links here.
Four-Word Self-Help Artists: Such beautiful art came in for my Four-Word Self-Help book due out this fall. My thanks to all who participated. To those artists, this note: for some reason the pretty mailing I sent to you two days ago is in cyberspace somewhere, but not in your inbox (or so I've heard). So forgive this public note–the publisher is making final, final selections of art today for this book!!! Unlike Life is a Verb, only one piece of art could be chosen for each "four-word missive" in the book (using many different criteria), so I fear that much brilliant and wonderful art won't be chosen (but will be featured on the Four-Word Self-Help website, due to launch in September). All artists will hear directly from the publisher next week whether your piece was chosen! And all artists who submitted art for the book will receive a complimentary copy from the publisher when it arrives hot off the presses. With their thanks…and with mine. Wow, what amazing, heartfelt, wonderful art. I think you might love this book. I hope so.
Writing Retreat, Portland, OR – November 6th: I'm delighted to partner with best-selling authors Jen Louden and Susan Piver to conduct a one-day WALKING INTO FIRE writing retreat in November. Wow. It's going to be A-MA-ZING. I hope you can come.
Dreaming of an Australian accent: Following this podcast with the delightfully accented Carla Rogers in Australia night before last, I'm dreaming of moving there to get me one. I loved how Carla opened space for the conversation. Loved it.
What is Dying to Be Born? I was honored to participate in this global gathering of women's wisdom, lovingly compiled by Lianne Raymond. If you missed the link to download the ebook that resulted, go here. Read, share the link, and write your own answer to the question, "What is dying to be born?" Or, perhaps this question: "What is dying to be borne?"
White Hot Me: Lots of folks have been asking me for the link to my interview with the hot Danielle LaPorte at White Hot Truth. Love her energy, and her questions. Here you go.
And because this is the very weekend you need to know how to make Peepshi.
