haven't done this in a while


Haven't blown my own horn in at least a few weeks.

Alysa, who I met last year when she ran a wonderful workshop on writing your way through breast cancer (at the Living Beyond Breast Cancer conference for women living with metastatic breast cancer). I introduced myself and gave her my book.

Yesterday, Alysa emailed me to say that she'd written a review of my book for oncolink and that she thought it would make me smile.

It did.

Congratulations, Laurie, on the well-deserved praise.

It's not blowing your own horn, btw. It's celebrating your life, your joy, your gifts, your contribution, your self.

Celebrate on!!!

I love it when they write good reviews of your book.

And the cheese thing always makes me laugh. Wisdom form the canines.

I attended this year's conference and went to Alysa's Healing Through Writing workshop. It was amazing what we were able to do in a short session. Here's my post about it: http://chris-theedgeoflight.blogspot.com/2010/05/philadelphia.html.

Laurie, I think you should go to the conference next year and do a workshop on the theraputic benefits of blogging. I know there were women there who would be interested in reading your book. I mentioned it to a few.

Christine, this is such a nice comment. And it would be fun to do a workshop at that conference. I really appreciated it when I went in 2008.
