Hiya mamas,
I’ve been a bit scarce since the conclusion of The Writer Mama Back-to-School Giveaway. But never fear because I’m gearing up for our second annual December Sell-a-bration! Not to mention all this other cool stuff that has landed in my Inbox lately that I’d like to share with you. Please feel free to grab and share any news in this post!
Sell-A-Brate Your Year Right Here In December 2009
Remember last year? I invited my students to share their success stories each day in December. Talk about inspirational! So, naturally, we’re doing it again.
If you missed the good stuff last year, click here to bring up all the posts. Happy getting inspired!
I hope you’ll start thinking about your 2009 success stories for this year’s round-up. More to come…
