It's here and it's available for pre-order: Coffee Lovers' Devotions to Go -- just in time for Christmas. It also comes in a holiday gift pack with your choice of coffee, cookies or chocolate.

I will be doing some book signings while I'm in the States (Dec. 14 - Jan. 6), so if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, let me know and maybe we can meet up and have a cup of coffee.

Here's the link where you can order the book and also the holiday gift pack!

Blessings,

Coming to a store near you (July 13, 2010) is Chicken Soup for the Runner's Soul. Be sure to read Connie's story, "Marine Corps Marathon and Stars." 

This book will make a great gift for the runner in your family!

Blessings & Joy,

Connie

When I first started speaking and writing five years ago, there was something that Florence Littauer (speaker/writer) said that has stuck with me, "Writing and speaking go hand and hand just like a hand and a glove." Florence was spot on.

Eventually whatever you write about, you will be asked to speak about (especially if it's published in a book!). Through the years, I have had the privilege of sharing "Living the Passionate Life" which is an extension of my book, Trading Ashes for Roses, which chronicles my journey through breast cancer.

It's a privilege to share the art of speaking tomorrow at the Lancaster Christian Writer's Super Saturday where I will be talking about "Platform Success to Share God's Message."  It's still not too late (walk-in registrations are accepted).

If you have a message that you would like to share and you're wondering how to get started, join us at the Lancaster Christian Writers Super Saturday Seminar. There is a great line-up of speakers and authors.  And there will be a book drawing at the end of the last session, so don't miss out!

The event will be held at: Lancaster Evangelical Free Church, 419 Pierson Rd., Lititz, PA from 8:45AM-4:30PM!! (March 27, 2010).

Hope to see you there!

In case you missed it, Here's the link for the interview with Yvonne Ortega. She interviewed me last month on blogtalk radio - "Hope for the Journey." Yvonne is a nine-year breast cancer survivor and I will be coming up on 14 years soon (March 21, 2010). I appreciated the opportunity to share my journey with her.

Yes, we can all make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine recently highlighted women who are making a difference in their communities: they took the proverbial "lemon" and made it into lemonade. Some started organizations, others worked quietly behind the scenes helping others through their journey of breast cancer, and still others started grassroots efforts to make a huge, life-changing impact on the world.

Ask yourself what you are passionate about and turn it into something for the greater good, like the women profiled in this issue of Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine.

Blessings to all of you on your journey,

Connie
