All I need is Love, a tire..and a Street Team

Most of you know my delight in transforming “trial” to “gift”. This past week gave me a great opportunity to do just that.
I had dinner with friends on Wednesday, and my phone stopped working for no reason (I blame Mercury). On the way out the door, I thought, “This would be a great time to be stuck on the side of the road (with no phone).”
Sure enough. On the way home, Cody and I were mid-laughter when a loud noise interrupted our fun. We pulled over and the tire was FLAT.
Being in the middle of nowhere on the x-way in the middle of the night with a child and without a phone or spare (stupid, I know – but I already used the extra wheel I had a couple months ago) was not an ideal situation for me. So, I did the only thing I could..drove on the rim to a public place (which just so happened to be a few miles away), so I could use their phone to call my roadside assistance. The grating noise of the rim on the road as we drove was excruciating to both my ears and heart.
So, lesson number 1: Replace spare tires immediately – because there is nothing more frustrating than driving on a rim, knowing how awful that is or having to call a tow truck for something you know how to fix.
Once we were home safe, I found that I would not be able to replace it until this week. This gave me a perfect opportunity to catch up on “at desk” work, and I was super productive with an excuse to not feel guilty about not attending social events.
So, the major Fruit of this adventure is this:
The Diaries of a Godling series website is now live! I have been working towards this for the last several years, and I’m happy to say there is a release date ( March 14) for the first book, The Promise. Check out the website, sign up for updates, watch the video and begin the journey (it’s a puzzle!), and reserve your copy of The Promise!
Just a little clue to you: everything I do is in layers..So, investigate everything thoroughly!
Also, here’s a heartwarming and ear wrenching gift: A bunch of us got together at Sub Rosa: The Gypsie Courtyard and sang All you Need is Love by The Beatles. As you can see, this was unrehearsed and spur of the moment. It was tons of fun, though. We hope it fills you up with as much cheer as it did us!
And as I push to have my band ready for our March 14 debut, I received a very interesting surprise. A fan of mine has put together a street team! I hadn’t thought of it before, so I guess it’s a good thing someone else lit the fire under my butt! She suggested I think of something nice to do with or for them, so I went ahead and created a section of my site for Street Team Members. If you’ve appreciated and followed these writings and want to help me spread the word about Diaries of a Godling or Sagun (my new band), you can join the street team (I am looking for captains in different areas of the globe). This will help me in coming to perform/speak in an area near you. Visit The Street Team Page to see the goodies in store for street team members. I am so grateful for how much support has been lovingly offered to me! Thank you all for inspiring me so, sharing your dreams with me, and for believing in mine!
Please help keep the ripple of Divinity going by sharing this on facebook, twitter, myspace, emails to friends and family and wherever you can.
Have a great week full of wonder and mysteries!
