November 13, 2015 at 3:05 pmFirst of all, we bought the same blog layout- so fun!!! I always love seeing how people put different customizations in the same layout.
That is so exciting that you were able to read a book with something you wrote!! When grad school ends, I have a huge list of books to catch up on that I haven’t been reading. Something that has been happy for me this week is that it ended up being a lot less fast paced than I was expecting. I had a lot of project deadlines and it went very smoothly!!
I hope you add this to the positivity link up on my blog- it would be a perfect fit 🙂

November 16, 2015 at 2:44 pmThat is truly a fantastic week! This is what the late night talk shows would call your best week ever!
Congrats on the writing contract, on the book, on the conversation with Mr. Albom.
All of it sounds awesome. Are you living in the Lego movie where everything is awesome? ?
I hope this coming week ahead is even better for you, if that’s possible
