Almost ready to publish

Wow, the past eight months have been busy! CEO Speaks will soon be in the final editing phase and I can get busy with other projects. What a trip this has been, 12 cities in 6 weeks, 44 CEO's later, 2 or 3 will be omitted...didn't have the pictures or bio's to me and I can not change the format, not at this state, the eastern half of the country covered with one CEO from Australia. Other cities were Miami (2), Jacksonville, Sarasota, St. Pete, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas (2), St. Louis, Ft. Wayne, Ft. Lauderdale, Dayton (4), Birmingham (18), New York, Boston, Baltimore...I think that's it. The art work is done, format done, publisher selected, the interviews were completed the first week of December...took one week off for holidays and visit family another week for family in Florida, but the remaining June 2009 to March 2010 worked sixty or seventy hours a week on one project, I am tired! The CEO's were awesome, trips without a hitch, transcription is NOT my gift, but we are almost complete. All for the grace God. This book will be on the website within the next 30 days! Then the CD not long after. What a project! CEO Speaks will be a book to lend credence to the American public and hope to those that fail to see business ethics in the best light...

Wrting and Compiling Take Time

This book has been the most fun of any project I can recall and the light is shining at the end of the tunnel. The printer has promised a January run including proofs and then I can start to sell books and work on other projects. Six months in the making and I promise I'll be back to giving yummy recipes and information on living green.

I want to make an apple cinnamon bread recipe and will try that later today so if it works I will share. Cinnamon also I found out is good for losing weight...not sure I can muster that with all the butter I eat on toast.

Wishing everyone a blessed Christmas or Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends.

Blessings of Fall

During a professional photo shoot today we choose to be outside. The photographer was great and in 40 minutes we must have done 50 photos. The trees this fall have been absolutely gorgeous with deep crimson, brillant orange, golden yellows. When I stand in the mist of nature the awe I feel is breathtakingly wonder. God gave us a beautiful place to live. We should do everything to protect nature and preserve for future generations. Interviewing a CEO in the wood industry, he said after using the water and land we use, we need to give back to the community as much as possible.

Enjoy this beautiful time of year, nothing can be more beautiful then the colors of fall.
