I woke up early this morning not expecting anything out of the ordinary and then, out of the blue, I get good news! I opened an email from the publishers of Not Your Mother’s Book…on Parenting stating, “Your story has made it through our first round of the selection process.” Which, of course does not mean it will be in the book, but does mean it has a good chance. Yay! It’s news like this that keeps me motivated to plod on ever in hope of that New York Times Bestseller. Yeah, right! But I keep on dreaming, after all, what is life without a dream.
So here is my bird for the week…
Linking to Bird D’Pot

Simply beautiful!!! I so miss having blue jays in my yard – they don’t come this far south, but we had them in Colorado. And this one is just gorgeous!!!
ps…I forgot to add my congratulations to you. Good luck for the future. How exciting.
Congratulations…fingers crossed it will continue through…
that’s awesome, betty! i hope it continues up the food chain!
Great news!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
That’s very exciting news and I too will keep my fingers crossed for you. I loved the Blue Jay photo.
Oh that does sound like exciting news – I hope it leads onto bigger things for you
