Oh Kickstarter nation, you are the best. You, friends, family, and good people everywhere I can't tell you how important your support is and what a difference it makes. I salute you. I celebrate you. And most of all, I thank you.

We leave for Bhutan next week, the itinerary thick and notebooks at the ready.

I will carry with me all of your good thoughts and will keep you posted as I draft the book. 

This book is for you.

Thank you,

Marie

    All the above PLUS a Bhutanese prayer flag procured in Bhutan and blessed there by a Buddhist monk on your behalf, then mailed to your home for you to enjoy. Prayer flags are hugely important to the Bhutanese. They are hung to allow the wind to carry their message of peace, wisdom, compassion and strength to all people, the very qualities that inspired me to write Going for Broke.

    Okay, wait for it. Everything you see here PLUS I interview you. I want to know your story. What inspired you to finally become and do what you always wanted to be/do when you grew up - or what held you back. I'll maintain editorial discretion, but I can tell already that you are very charming. So who knows, if you've got the goods, your quotables may well end up in the book!

    Estimated delivery: Oct 2012
