It's Publishing Time
Hi Everyone,
I've been on hiatus, truly, but only from this. I've been working my butt off finishing my long promised book on my own personal story of reinvention. The book, Sixty, Sexy, Sassy and Free: A Real Woman's Story of ReInvention is DONE.
These last few weeks have felt like the last month of a pregnancy... when you are so ready to get that little darlin out of you and be done with it. I alternately loved the book and hated it. I've been filled with doubt about whether anyone will like it or not. I spent lots of money working with a real writer to help me turn my story into a readable story. He was masterful -- yes a man, with a woman's story .. .in taking my journey and my jounal and turning it into a readable story. Now, will you like it, I have no clue.
Here's the scary part. It's the story of a boomer woman, turning 60 and deciding she's ready to leave Austin, TX and move to NYC and start over. So, I sold everything and did just that. Now, I've been here 3 years and it's time to get it out there. My mission is purely to help boomers (especially women) look inside, reassess and figure out how they want the rest of their life to go. I've been "driven" to write this story to inspire others. In order to do that, I've had to put it all down ... the good, the bad, and the ugly and expose all my warts, indecision, angst, fear, mistakes, etc. By the time you turn the final page, you'll know way more about me than I would have ever thought possible. But, how can I inspire you if I'm not authentic and honest?
Please don't judge me for my mistakes, poor decisions, dating and sexual escapades. In many ways, after being married for 25 years, I feel like I'm a 16 year old teenager trying to figure it all out.
Most importantly, read this to encourage YOU to take a stand for having your life be all it can be. Check it out: www.sixtysexysassyandfree.com
I'd love to hear your comments and of course, I'd be thrilled to have you order it.
