It's sooooo close...

I guess how I'm feeling is natural...anxious, nervous, exhausted, overwhelmed and semi-ready. It's been such a long journey full and exhilarating. Now, it's here, just about 48 hours away. If I was rich I would fly every single person into town that has been there for me. Anyone that has supported me along the way. Everyone that has encouraged me or pumped me up during my radio/TV career. I dream of the day we can all get together and celebrate my 22+ years in this crazy business. There are so many people out there that have had an impact on my life. Many who don't even know how much they contributed to this project. I hope every guy and girl who's in the book sees it and gets 'it'.
I'm going to try and nap today, it's been a sleepless week full of anticipation for the weekend. When the truck showed up with my book on Wednesday afternoon, what a trip it was as the driver lowered the palate of boxes onto the ground and wheeled them into my garage on his dolly. I wept, he freaked out to have a strange woman crying over his delivery, then we laughed. As he drove away, I opened a book, stared at the title and realized that...I DID IT!

  1. Hi Carolyn,
    I remember spending one day with you in Cuenevaca just after my brother's wedding. Can't even remember what year it was but everyone had gone home and I was in a strange country alone except for you! Do you remember? I know I thought that if I lived near you, we could be great friends. I have thought a lot about writing recently as ever since I was a child I have written short things and adored books. Interesting that your email came just as I was contemplating yet again what on earth would I write about.... Well my kind of unknown friend - congratulations and my admiration for you for having done it! Must be such a great feeling.
    Be proud of yourself. Nicky (King)
