December 2006

My book:
        Two years ago this December I wrote my first newsletter. Since then The Spiritual Times website and How My Magic Refrigerator Sent Me to Paris Free, 7 Rules to Make Dreams Come True were born. My dream of writing and publishing a book has come true. I am thankful to you, dear reader and friend, for giving life to my writing, for without readers the written word is dead.
        I am grateful to everyone who has bought my book--over 500! Those of you who found my book helpful and perhaps inspiring affirm what I believe is my life purpose.
        How My Magic Refrigerator Sent Me to Paris Free, 7 Rules to Make Dreams Come True, I am happy to report, is available at the following locations:
    Oklahoma City: Bebe's, Nichols Hills Plaza; Full Circle Bookstore; French Cowgirl; Victoria's Vignettes; Crescent Market; and Jamie's.
    Edmond: Best of Books.
    Norman: Antique Garden. Tulsa: The Dolphin, Utica Square;
    Austin: AREA; Houston: AREA. (Wonderful French furniture/accessories stores.)

Retreat at Lake Aluma:
    On Saturday, January 20, 2007, I will lead a spiritual retreat here at Lake Aluma from 10am to 3pm. For $75 dollars, you will get in touch with the divinity within you as we move through the 7 Rules, accept the unacceptable, and dream our dreams. A gourmet lunch and a copy of my book are included. The synergy purports to be electrifying: a dear friend from Atlanta and others from Oklahoma City have already committed.

Paris:
    Another dream of mine is coming true on my birthday, February 10, 2007: a book signing at the Paris Ritz! If you come, you will receive a Paris signed copy of Magic Refrigerator and dinner at a swank Parisian restaurant!

Books, movies, trivia:
      I am re-listening to The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon read by Jonathan Davis. It is simply the best. YBD
