I arrived at my 9:00 meeting this morning, only to discover that I had made a mistake – it started at 9:30, leaving me with enough time to go get coffee and a bagel down the street.  Super sweet. As I waited for my coffee, I read my horoscope, which advised patience through the red lights, as the green lights were on their way.   A reassuring start to what turned out to be a pretty perfect day. Other key elements:

• Learning about publishing, from experts
• Working in teams with friends who are smart
• Indian Buffet lunch
• Talking business with fellow consultants
• Subcontracting
• Rishi White Tea Rose Melange
• Connecting with kindred spirits & social entrepreneurs
• Book recommendations – How to Change the World
• Going to A Room of One’s Own to buy two books and learning that the number of my books that they’ve sold is in the double digits.
• Picking up a commission check
• Cruising through the arboretum in the luxury sedan
• Snapping pictures out the window, the kind driver pulling over for me
• Having a loved one offer to sell my book at a fair trade fair
• Shampoo shopping, finding a new scent that I love
• Red Wine
• Drink invitation with friends
• A ridiculously warm November day in Wisconsin
• green lights
