Just came home to find my copy of A Book is Born in the mailbox. Wow Nancy, it's just amazing!

Thank you so much for letting me be part of ABIB. You and the whole WM family are just wonderful, wonderful people.

I'll say it once again... WOW!

I am bringing it with me to the kids school right now to pick them up (and show off the new baby).

She really is a beauty. I am very proud to be associated with such an amazing project. It is a great feeling to think that our words and experiences will help empower others to make their dreams come alive. Nancy, hats off to all your hard work. You brought everything together into an amazing package. I am looking forward to watching our baby move into the world and touch other's lives in so many meaningful ways.

Subject: Confession

Okay, I have a confession. All week I've been thinking my writing sucks and who am I to publish it. I've been feeling scared and nervous and insecure about publishing.

And today, I got your package which talks about that in your book and now I feel relieved that others felt the same way. I can't wait to read through A Book is Born.

Also, it is wonderful to see how professional your books are. They look terrific! The stock, the covers, you know what you are doing. To hold your product in my hand has gotten me even more excited... it's like, hey, she really does make books. Now I have the proof!

Thanks again,

I spent a good long while crying this morning. They were tears of joy, people. A Book is Born arrived, and as I read through it, tears of joy and amazement jumped from my eyes and moistened my cheeks.

You are such amazing women (and Mark - you're amazing, too!). I am humbled to be in your circle.

Warmly,

A Book Is Born is even more wonderful that I ever imagined it would be. You must do the happy dance every time you look at it. It is a brilliantly creative work of art, brilliantly executed from cover to content.
