GirlfriendS...just wanted to let you know that I just got the most unbelievable thing in the mail. It was a Chicken Soup for the Soul MAGAZINE and guess what? My article, "From Griping to Gratitude" is on page 36!

I didn't even know it! Can you believe that? It was accepted by them like two years ago. They are just NOW publishing it. HOLY MOLY!

I am so excited and wanted to share the news with my sistahs...

JJ

Is this a "free publicity" article or a "I got paid!!" article?

Congrats JJ.

BTW R&J, It's definitely a paying gig. JJ doesn't need publicity for heaven's sake. She is already a STAR. Besides, if you earn publicity by writing your brains out, it ain't free anyway.

Keep up the good work jj.

They have a mag? I just need to hang around you more and learn these things. And, where do I find this mag so I can read your article?

How wonderful when my good buddy is published in yet another inspiring publication. You rule! Congrats on this and your many other accomplishments.

Thank you girlfriends...I knew you would be happy for me. Lordy, I'll be the first to admit this writing thing is a long and hard process but when something like this comes along, well...it does a body good! I wonder if Oprah needs a cohost...what? Too much? Okay, okay....

Their magazine is sold in Wal-marts and Barnes and Noble stores. If you get the chance, go to http://www.chickensoupmagazine.com/ and tell them how much you enjoy the story, if you get to read it, that is...

Thanks for all of your support!

All hail the Queen!

Congrats Your Majesty, you did good! And personally, I don't think co-host of a nationally known talk show is over the top. You go, girl!

Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the magazine.

Thank you girlfriends...you all are so sweet!

Speaking of Oprah, did anybody see the Legends Ball? It was spectular! I cried when they cried, laughed when they laughed, and sang along with them at the end. My idol, Tina Turner was there and she was sooooo lady-like. I just adore her. She is such a good person!
