As most of you already know, I have identified as a writer for the better part of my adult life. I am always writing something (a column, a speech, a toast, an article, a research paper, a play, a dissertation, a book…) and have found an unbelievable joy and fulfillment in using words to express myself.
More importantly, I consider that writing is a way for me to connect with others. Writing is my passion, my work, my inspiration and my value. Therefore, and for all these reasons, I am so very excited to announce that I am, at long last, releasing my first book, Because I Had To… A Collection of Columns.
I have many stories to tell, but this book, released at this time of year, seems to best capture the story that I want to tell now. As I have been writing my column for more than seven years, offering a collection of some of my favorite and more personally meaningful columns, seems most appropriate. In particular and Because, when read as a whole, the message of the book is uplifting and arouses a sense of nostalgia for a time gone by, joy for the time now and hope for a time yet to come. Much like Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, but without all the ghosts and drama…
Further, given that I have just spent the past three years earning my PhD in psychology, I am acutely aware how very essential wellbeing is, and so, I have also committed to donating $1 of every book sold to promote the wellbeing of others. With this book, I am choosing the Nursing Staff at Day Kimball Health’s Hospital, here in Putnam. I do this Because, like writing, I simply HAVE to…
And Because I have waited so long to finally publish a book, I am releasing this one with a bit of flare, primarily Because I would love to be able to connect with you, my loyal readers. This book is for you and, Because of you! Whenever someone tells me how much they enjoy my column, it absolutely warms my heart and makes my whole day. Thank you for taking the time to express yourself and to connect with me. I am always so appreciative, and I look forward to offering an opportunity to connect with you.
In conclusion, on Tuesday evening, December 19th from 6-8 pm, I'm happy to announce that I will be in Woodstock at The Inn at Woodstock Hill to read a selection from my book and personally sign copies. And Because there will be refreshments, warm sentiments and good holiday cheer… you are all invited! Party! Party!
