Here's a concept: I think I better finish unpacking my suitcase from last weekend's trip to New York City, so that I can fill it up and again as it's time to head back up to the Big Apple again.
For those of you in the Eastern time zone and the rest of you other early risers, you might want to tune into Fox News on Sunday Morning.
I've been invited to come on "Fox and Friends," to talk about my book, What's Possible! 50 True Stories of People Who Dared To Dream They Could Make A Difference.
They tell me I'll be on some time from 7:30 am-8 am. I know from my zillion years in the news biz, that's a ballpark figure. If news breaks, I'll be spending time next to the box of donuts off the set. That's fine. I'm happy for the invite and I'm more than happy to go with the flow.
Before I head out, or rather, before I go tackle the suitcase, I really want to share some photos from Tuesday night's book signing here in Atlanta.
What a wonderful turnout I had at the Barnes and Noble on Peachtree in Buckhead!
It took two hours to meet and sign books for everyone who showed up.
My supporters covered an incredible age range. 10-month-old Evie Hanover brought her parents Tara and Justin, and sported her favorite "We Show The World What's Possible at DarynKagan.com" onesie.
91-year-old Bill Montgomery also came. He's the blind sculptor who I like to say taught me to see. I featured Bill's story here on the website yesterday and you can read more about him and his incredible wisdom in the book.
Bill was just one of the many heroes in my posse Tuesday night. I invited every inspiring person in the book or who I've featured here on the website who happen to live in Atlanta area. The night was just as much about celebrating them as I introduced them to the crowd.
Here is Sebri Omer, the Ethiopian immigrant who sold half his gas station business to finance a modern hospital back in his African hometown.
Sebri is standing next to Adrienne Simpson. She's the person to talk to if you're facing a corporate layoff. Adrienne has survived twice. The second time led to creating "Smooth Moooves," a moving and relocation service that caters to seniors.
Finally, it wouldn't be a celebration for me if it didn't have cake. Thanks to my incredible friends, I was not disappointed. They commissioned my favorite Cake Lady, Gloria Brock, to create an amazing cake in the shape and design of my book! Can you believe that?
I can report that it tastes even better than it looks. And it's my favorite cake combo--white cake w/tons of white gooey frosting. Days later, it is still the gift that keeps giving.
Okay, the suitcase is a callin'. I'll keep bringing my camera along grabbing some memories to share with you.
Thanks to all of you are supporting the book and thanks for sharing this journey with me.
