Really!?

I guess it all comes down to marketing and not just having good information or writing.

I hope your call for a sponsor gets answered. In the meantime, maybe I'll spend my "George Bush" check on an Ipod to give away and see if it increases readership.

Thanks.

Good and plenty!

Can't wait to get my copy!

As I can't be in San Fran *sigh*, I will be at the Atlanta mini-conference and I'm excited to meet some of these blogging giants. I'm all up on that Amazon pre-order too. Here's to inspiration for the next book!

Is that cream or air at the top?

You made me think of magazines. At the checkout counter in the supermarket there are no lofty magazines about the world politics or literature, about scientific or technological discoveries. It's all actors and actresses, weight gain and loss. I thought that the precious power of the internet and blogs was to give those of use who are interested in other things a chance to read and reflect.

This is so exciting! The author list kind of defines "star-studded cast." I'm so bummed that I can't come to the DC event but I'll try to send friends.

The blogosphere already knows what amazing writers these people are. Now their gifts will be shared with the world at large.

My Amazon pre-order is already in, but you can bet I'll be buying a copy at BlogHer, too. (And not just because I'm rooming with Rita.) ;)

Thank you

I'm sure there are days they think they're lucky to still be alive and fed! LOL

I know everyone of you mothers would be amazed at what you can do when you have to. I tell you, just a week before my daughter was diagnosed, I saw some newscast about a girl who was critically ill and I remember thinking "I could NEVER do that!"

You'd be surprised. Thank you for your words of support.

Hi Anissa,

Your kids are very lucky to have a Mom who's trying to do her best in a very bad situation. The best of luck to you and your family.

I'm pretty new to BlogHer and i sure wasn't expecting the community of support that can happen. I appreciate your wonderful comment and your thoughts to my family.

Many thanks,

Absolutely beautiful, touching, heartfelt

An absolutely beautiful letter. Hugs to you and your family.

You made me remember why I do what I do - so that no parent needs to right that letter because of illness caused by environmental factors. You reminded me of what originally inspired me. So, I have a favor to ask - could I use your letter - attributed to you, of course! - in my forthcoming book on reducing toxic chemicals in the home?

What a beautiful, touching

I sure hope so

I wish my kids were old enough to understand now, but I do hope that some day the clarity that only years can bring will let them see. Thank you for the encouragement and support, they are invaluable and touch me in return.

Sincerely, thank you

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I appreciate your taking notice of this incredibly personal post. I want to so badly to let this journey we've been on to impact us and the others around us in a positive way, it's way too easy to get mired down in all the bad. I hope that each person that takes the time to read it comes away more appreciative of the blessings with which they are gifted and a reminder to never take a moment for granted.
