Hi Martha, yes, I recall seeing you as well! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I often wonder if I am an extroverted introvert — I do need people, but need to refuel :). I also met with an editor, with a similar assignment. I visited your website and I love your posts and 31 day series on care taking. This role slipped up on me as well and I am now helping three parents (POA for all three, stepdad included) and long distance. I’ve had such wonderful medical professionals to work with — even pushing the envelope on letting me sit in by phone when I couldn’t be there in person. I wish I had your RN background, as my three parents have complicated medical situations, plus memory issues intertwined. But God is faithful in the journey – couldn’t do this without Him!

b/f the conference, i decided not to worry about the number of people i visited with, but rather enjoy the quality of conversations. i’ll bet i didn’t have more than 20 conversations, but they were more in depth. i was able to talk about their books and they listened to me talk about mine. by the time i made my pitch, i had some new ideas and had a much better hook sentence than i did when i came…for sure!
my editor like it and gave me an assignment to go home and get my platform built up. that’s what i’ll be doing over the next 6-12 months! i love your post. thanks so much
