3/8/2010:  Harvard Bookstore Said Yes to JUMP!

3/8/2010: Harvard Bookstore Said Yes to JUMP!

If you could pick ANY bookstore in the country to be the first one to accept galley copies of your book for review purposes, which would it be? Some might say The Tattered Cover here in Denver (they’re on the list, but they weren’t first). Others might say the Bohdi Tree in LA, or [...]

2/10: WE’VE GOT GALLEYS!

2/10: WE’VE GOT GALLEYS!

I’m still smiling!  I came home last night after a stressful trip with an out-of-town client to a VERY nice surprise.  I’d heard last Friday that the printer had finished the galleys, and that they’d been loaded on a truck — and “maybe, just maybe” they’d be in Littleton by Tuesday (yesterday).  But, in the [...]

I’ve Got PROOFS!! (for JUMP!)

I’ve Got PROOFS!! (for JUMP!)

Sometimes the deliveries at the door are really, really exciting. Today was one of those times. As you can see from the attached image, I’ve got PROOFS! The guy in the brown truck brought me an envelope with two proofs from my book printer. Now, these aren’t “real” books, and they’re proofs for [...]

29 Gifts:  How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life

29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life

I’m part of a book study group where we examine the mysteries of science, spirituality and basically try to figure out how the universe is put together, and answer the question, “why are we here…” No big questions. Recently our group has decided to study Cami Walker’s book, 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can [...]

2/2: We Should Have Galleys by 2/10 or 2/11!

02 February 2010

Now — how’s that for a cool headline?  I got word from the printer today that they will be done with printing the galleys this Friday (2/5).  Then, they’ll stick them on a truck, and ship them from Ashland, Ohio to Littleton, Colorado — and we should have boxes of galleys arriving next Wednesday or [...]

1/17: Just a quick update related to the status of JUMP!

17 January 2010

I posted a little over a week ago that I’d received proofs for the galleys. Since that time: I have received about a dozen testimonials from initial readers — and have incorporated their feedback into the front part of JUMP! (THANK YOU to everyone!) Much of the fable in JUMP! is set in Northern Colorado — [...]

1/10: Gift 29, Forgiveness

10 January 2010

Today represents the end of the 29 day gift challenge, and I saved my most difficult gift to give for last. And, it’s a gift to myself. I have chosen today to forgive someone who treated me VERY badly — whose final communication with me was disrespectful and downright mean. This is [...]

1/9: Gift 28, Getting Clear

10 January 2010

I’m a pretty involved parent related to the little things with our younger kids. I think part of why has to do with the fact that I was less involved with the day-to-day stuff with our older kids, and I wanted to do something different the “second time” around. There are other factors too — [...]

1/8: Gift 27, Neutrality

09 January 2010

Even though I’m “in the business” of helping others with change, I guess I’m just like everyone else in that changes can be difficult for me. In particular, overcoming some of my conditioned responses can be pretty tough — okay, it can be BRUTAL. Today was “one of those days” — where my [...]

1/7: Gift 26, Cyberduck

08 January 2010

Okay, so I’d be willing to bet that most of you have never heard the word, “Cyberduck” before — and are thinking it might have something to do with a bird whose good with the Internet. Actually, that’s “somewhat” true. In reality, Cyberduck is a tool for Macintosh computers that allows me to send and [...]
