lucky.

I cannot believe how blessed I am. As I sit here working on the blogs, and sending out a few E-Mails, I'm listening to my children coloring and talking about silly things at my feet. I must be the luckiest woman in the world to not only have two perfect little ones, but to get to stay at home with them, has been amazing. It's given me a chance to really reach for and achieve my dreams. As cliche as it may sound -- while watching Sarah Palin last night, and hearing her journey from PTA Hockey Mom to Governor of Alaska; I was so proud to be an American Mom, that is taking hold of something that she has always dreamed of doing.
It hasn't been an easy road for us these last few months, but the rewards that we have been experiencing from the kids have been worth the bumps in the road. And, if I had never decided to quit my job and stay at home, I never would have finally written Andy's Dad. I've been talking about writing this book for over a year, and it's finally done. We are so close, and I'm so damn excited. As soon as we get the last illustrations in, we'll be good to go! Not to mention, "Andy's Dad" will have it's first public mention/promotion at the 5678 Comedy Show to benefit Luke's Wings on the 13th of September! (Get your tickets, here)

I've had a few inquires from people wanting to promote "Andy's Dad" for me on their blogs, or via. other media outlets. I say -- more power to you! I appreciate the support, and am willing to get the word out about this book and the cause that the proceeds will be supporting in any way possible! If you are interested in any of the art-work, or a simple write up from myself or the illustrator please e-mail me via. SLH119@hotmail.com or you can contact me on Facebook (Shannon Koprivich-Jones). If you are on Facebook, please join the group -- "Andy's Dad" -- A Children's Book! And, the same goes for any of you out there on Host Committee's or those chairing upcoming Fall fundraisers.... I'd be more then happy to give you a little bit of promo. through either or my blogs... just let me know what you want to post. I'm really looking forward to having the time to be involved with the upcoming charity events and functions this fall.
