London!

I'm back from my first speaking arrangement abroad!

Well I was back two days ago really, but you know how it is with jet lag....

Actually, there wasn't any time for jet lag. I left here just after Shabbos, got there Sunday lunchtime, spoke Sunday night, left early Monday morning and got back here Monday afternoon and went right from the airport to my nephew's wedding.

I've never done anything like this and it was a great experience even though I hope I never again have to do something like that in just a day.

I can't believe so many people really read and liked Miracle Ride enough to fly me across the Atlantic...

Had to back out of a trip to LA this weekend though. There's only so much traveling a young mother of two kids who are up all night can take in one week!

I still can't believe I did it!

I think there's so much more I wanted to say about it, but I can't remember what. I'll post again if my mind ever gets back from Great Britain.

Woah!! Good for you! I'm so happy to hear you did it!! :D

(Reminding me of school with the English accent and the prank you played on that sub lol...did you speak with your English accent at all or you spoke with your American accent the whole time?!)

I'm sure you have more to say! Waiting to hear more about it...

Just wanted to tell you that i finally got your book delivered. although well read, never read anything the like, it's so intense yet suble. your acknowledgement was so you, read it the first, what do you think... will write a review mb, time permitting.
Hope you're having a great Chanuka!
are you scheduled for a speaking engagement in montreal?

Thanks Brochi! Now you better recommend it to your friends! I want to go into a second printing already!

Montreal is dying to have me but I keep saying no. I'd love to do it eventually, but the date they have isn't good for me. I have another out of town speaking arrangement that same week and then just after that I take my kids to Israel for upsherin IY"H so I really cant afford Montreal in my crazy schedule.

They're still bugging me though. Maybe I'll do it next year if they still want to deal with my attitude :-)
