Good for you, two pubs out of piece!!! Know some folks I would love to gift with this book, but you know.....
There's so much wisdom in this story, Linda. These days I notice a lot of people who seem to think admitting our mistakes makes us look weak. But I find it's the very best people who are constantly thinking about the impact of their words and actions. What a wonderful lesson and reminder. No "buts" about it.
Linda--Your stories are always so well-crafted and always include a powerful lesson. Congratulations on the publishing credit. They know a good story when they see one.
Congrats on the second time around!
I hate it when I do that, when I open mouth/insert "but." I can feel it coming on, and know it's wrong, but sometimes I can't stop. Maybe your story will help.
I hate it just as much when somebody does it to me. Takes the wind right out of my sails, all right.
Congratulations, Linda! What a fantastic book to be a part of! I agree that it is very humbling to realize that our words have an impact on others. That's why I feel writing is such a wonderful thing. There are days when someone's words will lift me up and impact me so positively - you have done this for me many times with your writing. What a great gift to give others! Looking forward to more and more great publication news from you.
Congratulations, Linda. So happy that this story has been published again in this beautiful new volume. I loved your story when it first came out in My Resolution, and I love it still. You always know how to deliver a loving and powerful message.
You amaze me, Linda. Congratulations on your many successes and wonderful stories.
Congratulations, Linda! How wonderful!
That's awesome. Congrats, Linda!
