I went to pick up a few copies of by at the local Barnes and Noble to send to my grandparents who live down in TN. My grandfather just turned 91 and I talk with him weekly. He still gardens, cooks and is on the light and power board. He really never stops and has always been one of my biggest cheerleaders along with my aunts, uncles, and chosen family.
I have never been one to toot my own horn but when the cashier asked me why I was buying so many, I told her it was because I was in the magazine and she almost screamed with joy for me to show her and the other ladies in line came up to congratulate me and we all looked at it together. One lady in particular said “GIRL! You cant keep these things quiet! Tell everyone!” And then they asked me when my book was coming out…
Anyway, here is to not holding it in.
