Veteran's Day
I just came back from an amazing, super busy trip to NYC. My manager, agent and I met with book publishers for 2 days to pitch my book. Its been an incredible experience working on the proposal and defining who I am, how I do what I do and what drives me. Its filled with mommy moments, good, bad and ugly, its honest, revealing, and hopefully inspirational to many. It went great and I am hoping for good news next week, fingers crossed!
