Meet Me on Monday…

I’m going to be doing something a little different on Mondays…I’m going to be sharing my blog on what’s called an author’s blog tour…the purpose of it…is to help more people get to know some of the lesser known authors…you know…people like me…and their books…you know…books like…Bertha-Size Your Life
I’ve never participated in one of these before…so I’m not totally sure how it works…the first post may be today…and it may not…how’s that for concrete information…
My current plan is to continue to post on Mondays…and have the author interview as a second post for the day…we’ll see how that works…
Bertha is excited about the tour…I tried to explain that we’ll just be visiting a lot of people’s blog…we aren’t really going anywhere…but…she’s been out shopping for shoes…and getting her nails done…you know Berthaany excuse for high heels and a mani-pedi…
Me…I’m in my house shoes…my nails are scraggly…but…I’m really kind of psyched about the whole thing…it’s a cool way for me to get to know other authors…something I’m always excited to do…I’m always curious about what makes them tick…how they came up with that idea…that kind of thing…and…I get to share that information with you…
Sometimes…I have to admit…in the past…I was a little intimidated by the popular authors…okay…sometimes I was a lot intimidated…geez…you make me admit every little thing…this living my truth thing can be a pain…
But…I finally understand…we all want the same thing…whether we write books or not…we want to be heard…we want to be understood…we want to be validated
And…somehow…that’s more reassuring than intimidating…maybe living my truth isn’t such a pain after all…
Anyway…I hope you’ll enjoy meeting the authors…I know I’m going to…either later today…or soon…Bertha's in the car...blowing the horn...I hope it's soon...geez...
