My Heart To Your Table

Good Morning Friends,

It's been an exciting week with the release and all but I'm still here waiting for my books. I look forward to see my favorite UPS driver pull into our driveway, saying I GOT THE BOOKS :)) Maybe today, will bring this dream of mine to a reality.

My kids and nephew have the announcement all over face book, which is so cool to see their friends remarks. Especially when they say they're going to buy the book :)) Well as kids, most of them have been here eating me out of house and home anyway, so they owe me hahahaha.

Well if the books come today, I'm coming right back to my 8 followers to share the good news.

Bon Appetit

Good Morning You 8 Lovely Followers :))

I know there are more of you out there, so please come and join us :)

The books are being printed as we speak, and every time the UPS driver pulls up I'm running to the door. Talk about the UPS driver, let me tell you this story.

It's 7 pm on Christmas Eve, we had just sat down to dinner and the door bell rings. It's the UPS driver with a package for me. The table was filled from one end to the other with all the usual Italian dishes. The family was all talking and wishing him a happy holiday. So I asked him to join us for dinner (there's always room for 1 more) he said he couldn't, but thank you very much he said. I said well then can I at least make you a plate to take with you, he was thrilled . So I get a holiday dish and fill it with some of our goodies and a soda. He thanks us and leaves with the whole family screaming holiday wishes to him.

Now the book was released once before, but before they printed and delivered to me we found a few errors. And knowingly I couldn't sell the book to anyone now, so I tried to stop the printing to no avail. The books are delivered and who is the UPS driver, but this nice fella that came on Christmas Eve. He had several boxes and he carried them all into the house. It was written on the box BOOKS and he questioned me about it. I told him the whole story and he said well would you sell me one of these books. I said no because I didn't want to sell any until I made the revisions. He said ok I won't forget you, I'll be back and buy a good one.

He has delivered to the house several times since and always greets me with, did the book come yet. He said he even ask the other drivers if they have delivered anything here.

I think this is such a heartwarming story, that this man remembers how we treated him on Christmas Eve.

The moral of this story is.. The easiest way to be happy...is to make someone else happy.

Well looky here ..we have another follower :)) I'm so glad you found me.

I just spoke to my Publishing Company and they said the book is live and family and friends can start to purchase the book. My Editorial Consulant suggested you go to Amazon.com because they have people watching the site to see what books are being sold.

I have to find 2 established critics to give positive remarks for the book plus sell 500 books and I will be given my own personal press agent to promote the book even further...so this is my new goal...Critics are you reading this :))

Have the Best Week Ever and Bon Apettit

My Heart To Your Table

Good Morning my 2 fellow readers :))

Well I watched Julie and Julia again last night. They are such inspirations to me in their own way. Both started their ventures from just wanting something to do...as the case with me ....both were married to great guys ...mine is the best in the world...both finished and succeeded in their journey.. as I intend to do as well. Well I've been dreaming about writing a cookbook forever and soon I will scream out the release date and stand with some great ladies.

My new motto is ... If you can DREAM it... you can do it.

Watch for the release of my cookbook called Cooking From The Heart.

You see dreams do come true :))

My Heart To Your Table

Welcome to my table...I saw the movie Julie and Julia two times in the theatre and maybe once a week at home, with my own DVD. After seeing the movie I would wear my pearls as Julia Childs would. I recently wrote a cookbook and thought OMG !! wouldn't it be fun if I can get my own following like Julie did with her Blog.

The name of my book is called Cooking From The Heart and hopefully by the end of next week it will be released. It was my intention to write a book where I will always be with you cooking and I know we will be doing just that. In the book I have given you my email and website addresses to work hand and hand with the book. Go to my website http://www.cookfromtheheart.com/ and check out all the pages. I would be thrilled if you sign my guest page.

I will be here anxiously waiting to hear from you.
