    3 things + REASONS TO BACK THIS (SUCCESSFUL!) PROJECT RIGHT NOW:

    I'm still astounded. Still grinning. Still filled with awe and wonder and the adrenaline of knowing what lies ahead.

    And I wanted to tell you three things:
    First, if you aren't already, go become a fan of A Field Guide To Now on Facebook--so that you can continue to get updates about the book as it progresses after May 15th.

    Second: THANK YOU!! You are a part of making something incredible happen. YOU. Every single one of you. Your support and encouragement and backing of this project is a manifesto of possibility. SO AWESOME.

    And third: I'd love to open this up as a challenge for the next thirteen days to see how many friends we can collectively rally to become backers for just $1....

    REASONS TO BACK THIS (SUCCESSFUL!) PROJECT RIGHT NOW:

    1. This is a chance for anyone who wants to promote their own creative project or blog to do so... (I'll be sharing a monumental list of all the backers on my blog--with any creative links you'd like me to share!)

    2. It's a chance to be a part of something unique, and creative, and daring.

    3. When you become a backer (even for this tiny small amount) you are valuing the creative process in your own life as well. You are saying YES to a work in progress; to possibility; to this moment, right now in your life. Make this a first step in plotting your path. If I can do it... YOU can.

    4. And mostly, become a backer now... so that you can be a part of this adventure as it continues (the best part is JUST BEGINNING!) and to revel in knowing you were instrumental in making it happen. (Where else can you spend $1 and gain such an immense reward?)

    With joy and wonder, Christina
