Teachers, dreamers, Oprah fans and to anyone in a life transition who feels the need for hope and persistence – this book is for you!
Forget Plan A or Plan B – I've discovered that they fall be the wayside pretty quickly in real life! Plan K or Plan R or Plan Y is where it's at for me, that is, getting creative and having fun pursuing my passions when the going gets tough.
That's really what my new book, Desperately Seeking Oprah Reservations is all about.
Sure we were trying to get tickets to Oprah. But what we were really trying to teach each other, our kids, our families and ourselves was that persistence pays off!
It all got started when Michelle – a former 4th-grade teacher in Shoreview, Minnesota – and I got to talking about her dream to see Oprah live. She told me she had tried to get tickets for two years, but with no luck at all.
Then there was Katie, a 5th-grade teacher who said she'd also love to go, after all, she taped the Oprah show every day!
MariPat – another 5th-grade teacher – overheard all of us and said, "I'd like to go, too! And you should also ask Liz (a 3rd-grade teacher). You have asked her, haven't you?"
No I had not.
But I did. And that's how our quest began ...
I created this blog to get a lot of conversations going about all the stuff about our adventure that never made it into the book. (But I hope you buy the book, too!)
Thanks for visiting. This is going to be fun.
