Women's Nest founder, Melissa Foster, has been nominated for a Shorty Award. Read how she found out about it!
Ahh, hello Nester's,
How are you all?? I have been re-arranging my schedule and trying to find more time to do what I need to do. My focus this year has been on my family, art work, friends, and volunteer time. I have still found that there is not enough time in a day, week and soon even a month to complete all of my to do lists. I had a big goal of doing 5 pottery items every weekday to be ready for my summer selling........ that was just too big of a goal I guess, because I am no where near that.
Tonight my hubby came home and was leafing through our mail (which I love to ignore), and he handed me a large envelope from Writer's Digest. I love Writer's Digest magazine, but this looked like junk mail. On the way to the trash, I decided to rip it open just in case they'd begun sending their magazines in envelopes for some strange reason. Much to my surprise, I received a participation recognition certificate for the 19th annual Self-Published Book Awards. That alone isn't so exciting, but the paper that came with it was. This is what it conveyed:
Sometimes things happen in our life that have the capacity to make us jump up and down and act like we've lost our minds. Today I was told about one of those events. Perez Hilton, yes, the Perez Hilton, mentioned COME BACK TO ME on his blog in his Holiday Recommended list for 2011.
I decided this year is for me. So I'm trying. Starting doing yoga as I wrote on the nest, I had problems in the laying down positions felt like I was chocking and had to get up. Not sure why that happen.
I'm decided that I'm going to stop eating in the cafeteria at work and bring my lunch. Save money and I'm thinking that maybe the way they are cooking is causing my sugar levels to go up. Also, I want to save money to go away with Glenn.
Today I was featured in the Huffington Post, where I laid out the facts of ebook pricing. Is 99 cents a valid price point for ebooks? How will the no-discount pricing structure effect authors, publishers, and of course, readers? Weigh in on the Huffington Post article, here:
Today I received exciting news.
Hi everyone, just a quick shameless self promotion. My books are being reduced for a holiday sale. All three books just 99 cents each. Megan's Way and Come Back to Me have already been reduced.
As usual there has been no shortage of things needing my attention, but I seem to be managing everyone and everything well and still sleeping. So that's a good thing. I am skipping a bunch of things that happened over Thanksgiving but it was not my best so I'd rather just skip it all anyway. :) Everyone got fed and loved the food, so it's all good and all over with.
I love the rain, I love the sound of the rain, I open the windows everytime it rains. 
I can't believe it's November 1st. For the past thirty days I have worked along side thirty five of the most gracious authors that you could imagine. Thirty five men and women who have pulled together, supporting each other for the good of the group, listening, offering advice, leaning on one another.
Good news first, I went in for surgery on Thursday for a breast lump that I have been watching since January and had refused surgery on 2 times since, requesting that they ultra sound it instead and watch it.
I'm not a big people person. I am OK with just one, two people MAX but big groups of people make me uncomfortable. I have not always been that way but I have been for about 7.5 years now.
My husband says he understands that I am not OK with big groups of people yet he insists on holding big parties at my house.
