This coming Saturday, August 21st from 10a.m. until 2p.m. I will be at Brian's Coffeehouse and Book Store in Connersville, Indiana.
The newspaper in town (Connersville News Examiner) has posted a notice about the event and the local radio station's host did a telephone interview with me this morning.
I am looking forward to this signing.
Connersville is my home town. I grew up there and graduated from the Brookville high school before marrying a farm boy from a Brookville, a small town south of Connersville.


A friend sent me the following message and I thought that I would pass it on to all of you -

Subject: The 20 Dollar Bill

A well-known speaker started off his seminar
by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you
But first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives,we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and
the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we
know, but by WHO WE ARE.
You are special- Don't EVER forget it."

Stay well and happy - Margaret
