The second in my "Cooky Clock" series is available on Amazon.com NOW. "24 Hours Till Turkey" is a story-coloring book introducing Gooble T. Gobler as he discovers that Thanksgiving dinner may (or may not) be a celebration in his honor. Thanks all here in the community who provided guidance and encouragement! UPDATE: My celebration of this event has been temporarily postponed due to Auburn's win over Georgia that happened the same day, LOL. There is a time and a season for everything...

I used to volunteer at the local hospital delivering the blessed hosts and praying for the sick. Lo and behold my two volunteer buddies bought two copies of one of my Halloween books and helped get me a #13 last week. I haven’t seen them in six years! It was totally out of the blue! Great friends sometimes are better than family!

A small Pinterest milestone today — and I think it says something useful about participation. One of my Pins just crossed 1,000 impressions. That matters to me less as a number than as evidence of something I probably would not have done consistently on my own. The Pinterest challenge got me posting. PINSDAY gave me a reason to keep showing up. Seeing what other members were trying gave me ideas. And repeated participation turned “I should probably use Pinterest someday” into an actual habit. That is one of the things I value most about this community. Sometimes the biggest benefit is not the lesson itself. It is the structure, accountability, encouragement, and a little social pressure that get us actually to use what we learn. So thank you, Krista, and thank you to everyone who has shared Pins, ideas, feedback, and encouragement along the way. Participation turns intention into evidence. 📌 https://www.pinterest.com/pin/701857923221506161/
