Just wanted to check in with everyone! I'm currently on my way to Los Angeles for the "Mega Speak" conference created by Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books.

I'm really looking forward to this event - it's a chance for professional speakers from around the world to come together, hone our craft and network, network, network. Mega thanks to Mark and his incredible team for developing this opportunity!

In other excellent news, I want to share with you the latest updates on my upcoming book:

Last week, we put the finishing touches on the manuscript, including a wonderful foreword written by Mark Victor Hansen himself. I'm currently working with Morgan James Publishing to finalize the production of the book titled "From the Kitchen to the Corner Office: Mom's Wisdom on Leadership."

The long journey from concept to holding the book in my hand is nearly complete; it will be available in bookstores by Mother's Day. Check back for more details!
