Five Things

July 13th, 2012

{A stack of Domino magazines my mom was sweet enough to part with – so excited}

This week moved me. I  was incredibly touched by all of your sweet notes about my book and I am so humbled by all of your support. I tried to read through as many of the (over 26k!) comments as possible – readers from all different parts of the world who came together to offer their congratulations, stories about how they discovered my site, and how it’s affected their lives. I wish I could give away a box to all of you, but here are the three randomly chosen winners:

Congratulations to Janice (bertie9488 [at] hotmail.com), Tanvee (tanvee.ghaisas [at] gmail.com), and Fernanda (f_miranda_abreu [at] hotmail.com)! Each of you should have received an email from me last night, so please respond at your earliest convenience with your mailing address.

Again, thank you for all making this experience so rewarding and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

{I’m obsessed with the Olympics, so this personalized polo from Ralph Lauren is the coolest}
