Almost famous

I'm going to be in a book!

I had the honour of being interviewed by a prominent author this past weekend! The author in question is working on their most recent book, and they contacted me wanting an interview and permission to quote my website.

We had our preliminary phone call, where I was filled in on the scope of the book and asked a few questions regarding my area of expertise.

I panicked. While the author was speaking all I could think was:

I don't know anything... Quotes? What the heck do I have to say that merits being quoted? I could barely string a sentence together. Everything I know can be summed up in one or two sentences....

Then something amazing happened. Towards the end of our conversation, it all started flooding back. I was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of my own knowledge, experience, and personal anecdotes.

Now that I've regained my composure, I look forward to the formal interview.

I think hanging around here is a great idea (though I do it alread, anyway!). Though I'm still going through SI withdrawl!

There's a lot of people out there who would be thrilled with your old baby things. Try contacting a local shelter for domestic violence victims, or a local homeless shelter. They often have women in desperate need of baby items. Your family and friends might not appreciate them, but a poor mother with nothing will think they are treasures!

“A philosopher once wrote you need three things to have a good life. One, a meaningful relationship, two, a decent job of work, and three, to make a difference. And it was always that third one that stressed me, to make a difference. And I realise that I do. Every day, we all do. It’s how we interact, with our fellow man.”
