This week, my heart is full of gratitude as I celebrate two very special milestones: Personal Growth and self-publishing a NEW book!
First, I was honored to receive the Don Robinson Toastmaster of the Year Award from Rochester Toastmasters Club 476. This award means so much to me because it recognizes service, leadership, personal growth, and the true spirit of Toastmasters. I am deeply thankful to our executive board and to all the inspiring members who continue to encourage one another to grow.
🌱 As I often say, you are not living unless you are growing in each decade of life!
I am also excited to celebrate the publishing of my newest book, Declutter Your Home, Declutter Your Life. This book is very close to my heart because decluttering is about so much more than cleaning closets, drawers, basements, or those dusty memory boxes we all seem to have tucked away.
Decluttering is about creating space to breathe, move, think clearly, and step into your next chapter with more ease and vibrancy. 🏡✨
📘 A Special 99-Cent eBook Offer
For the next few weeks, my eBook is available for only 99 cents, and it is also available to Kindle Unlimited readers.
As I prepare for my next book promotion, I am gathering honest Amazon reviews, and your support would mean so much to me. You do not have to read the entire book before leaving a review. You can skim, hop around, or read the chapters that speak to you most.
A few places to begin:
📘 Introduction and Chapter 1 — where I share my GPS approach to starting where you are and creating a plan to flow forward.
🧺 Chapter 7: Essence Over Excess — one of my favorite chapters about navigating the deep, and occasionally dusty, waters of sentimental weight.
🌟 Chapter 9 — continuing the journey toward more clarity, freedom, and purpose.
⭐ The Simple Review Plan
Amazon’s review system can be a little WACKY right now, so here is an easy approach:
🛒 Day 1: Download the eBook for 99 cents:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6GYCR6M/
📖 Days 2–5: Read or skim a few chapters at your own pace.
😌 Day 6: Take a day off from the book.
⭐ Day 7: Return to the same Amazon link and leave a short, honest review.
Please write the review in your own words and simply share what stood out to you. A few sincere sentences are enough. If you order the paperback, it may help to wait at least 24 hours after it arrives before posting your review.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me — from Toastmasters growth, to book publishing, to clearing clutter and moving into our next chapter with more purpose, humor, and AGE-GILITY.
Here’s to celebrating growth, working around those wacky algorithms, and continuing to live with vibrancy.
We are not done yet — we are just getting better! 💫
Bye for now!
