Minus 38 hours!
Wow! Folks, we’re in the final countdown. I can’t even type that without hearing the song in my head.
Minus 38 hours and we still have about $2448.00 to go. I actually think this is totally possible!
Things around here have been a happy chaos. The manuscript is with the formatter after a long hard dash to get it turned in on time so we can make the launch. I’ve been hitting up local book stores in hopes of finding an outlet for sales to include along with my online Amazon storefront.
Last week I read the dedication out loud, on stage in front of a crowd at Portland’s one and only monthly live art show called Someday Incubator. To be honest, I shook in my boots, trembling like a novice up on stage. Yet it was a wonderful experience, because I haven’t been that nervous in front of an audience in twenty years – and I realized it’s because this project is so near and dear to me, it was total vulnerability.
It’s been a long time since I’ve loved something so much to be so vulnerable for it - and it was exhilarating!
So here we are! About 38 hours from the end and we’re about to find out if we can fly!
Ladies and Gentleman, hold onto your hats! Things are about to get really interesting!
Yours most humbly and sincerely,
Athena

And, then next time you’re in Portland, Ore. I’d very much like to buy you a drink at a marvelous little martini bar I know, and say thank you in person.
