Via EmailHave You Ever Made a Big Dream Come True?
That’s a great conversation question.
I can say YES because TODAY my new, amped-up Web site is online. And my ebook, Do You Squeeze the Toothpaste in the Middle? Playful Questions for Dates & Mates, is available for the first time. HOORAY! I’M EXCITED!!!!!!
If you’re reading this on Facebook, go to http://www.QueenOfConversation.com and check out the new look.
How long did it take to write the book? Shoots, some of my readers weren’t born yet. If I get on Oprah, it’ll be because I had a dream and stuck to it like gum sticks to a shoe.
Friends would say, “How’s that book coming?” I’d say, “I’m struggling with it.” And my heart would sink. I could feel it. When I finished the book, I’d say, “Now I’m having trouble with my Web site,” and my heart would sink. With that kind of self-talk, no wonder my tail feathers were dragging.
Enough with the sinking. I learned to answer in a way that felt good: “I’m looking forward to getting my ebook online.” Those words empowered me.
Finally, I decided to quit slogging along by myself. (Is that ringing a bell with you?) I hired experts who came highly recommended by Paul Hendricks, a fellow author. Marty and Amber, the Web site experts at HereNextYear gave me that ahhhh feeling. I was part of a team. I got motivated again.
And now, ta-DAH! I get to bask in making a big dream come true.
Tomorrow, the marketing….er, I look forward to the marketing tomorrow.

First congratulations on an idea you told me about several years ago. I quit asking about the book at least a year or two ago, afraid you had given up on it. Wow. i know your Mom and Dad would have been as proud of you as I am. Can’t wait to read the book, and remember what I told you when you told me the title, I do too. Love you, Tom
CONGRATULATIONS Tracey!! Wonderful book and “tool” whether you are in a relationship or just dating.
