Gifts of Encouragement

As we were setting up the booth space to sell books and share information at the conference this weekend I looked down and saw a paper bag which had its handle tied with a bow. I stopped the woman who was slinking away from the booth to tell her she left her bag. She sheepishly turned around to tell me it was a gift for me. She said she had been poking around the web page for the conference and some how made it to this page. She decided to bring me a gift to wish me well with the debut of the book.
I was very excited. I opened the bag to find a box of Cinnamon Life. She hesitantly asked, “Is that still your favorite food?” Of course it is. After reading my bio she decided it would be the prefect gift.
To do list for tomorrow: Update bio to include favorite car (Jaguar), favorite gem stone (The Hope Diamond), and favorite type of currency (cash).
