Tis the season to launch a new book!

Amidst holiday shopping and school concerts and seasonal colds and other fa la la, we have actually and officially launched the new book project, This Day in the Life of Working Women. We marked this official beginning by sending an email last week to a couple thousand supporters on our community list and past book participants. Thanks for all the nice notes back (for me, they make all the difference!), and for the early rush of suggestions for day diarists to include in the new book. I love reading the reasons why someone suggests a particular woman as a day diarist—“…she is a personal inspiration…” “extraordinarily talented…” “her life is so different than mine…” "I want to create a day diary!" (I actually think it's terrific when a woman recommends herself.)

Please, keep the suggestions coming and, if you haven’t already, why not let the person you suggest know how much you appreciate her, and how you are interested in a day in her life. Now that would be a good Christmas present, or just a truly nice thing to do any time. Warm wishes and happy New Year!
