Okay, Kristi. Count me in. This brings to mind that maybe I should do a giveaway of my novel. Oh well. If I don't get it, I'll buy it.

Well I did this backwards, wrote the comment before creating my account. So as I was saying, I really enjoy your writing it aligns with my beliefs. And it's making me begin to feel like my connection to my creativity is being reignited. Thanks for sharing these stories. Oh and I'd love to read the book.

Thank you Leslie, I'm so glad you've found some inspiration! I hope you do reignite your creativity 😊

The book giveaway has already happened but if you're looking to light a fire under your butt I HIGHLY recommend purchasing and reading it. It's a fantastic book.

I would like to read this book. My middle finger is up a lot.... lol only at home though. My husband and I used it playfully between us.

Kristi 😀

I have been known to give the middle finger, but it does not come with some “cheddar” the way Ash’s does! Would love to read a book that helps authenticate the best version of myself, the one that says my writing is meant to be shared

Thanks. I hope I win

I've known Ash since she started her blog way back in the aughts, I believe. Awesome young lady, I had the privilege of meeting at the World Domination Summit in 2012.

That's amazing you've met her! I've been following her for 10 or so years too. Never met her though

I so want this book! I've had her website bookmarked for a few weeks now but haven't managed to spend much time on it yet. Sometimes I just get tired of staring at a computer (or phone) screen so I'd love to have an actual tome to read!

I've been following her for many years and she's always so entertaining while being educational. You'll totally love the book. You're in!

Pretty please with a cherry on top? I’ll dog sit! I’m simultaneously working on healing my trauma with my therapist and diving back into my art and creating. ❤️ You!

That's awesome Heather! Maybe you'll need some good reading while you heal. You're in!

Life, not worth living after losing your Best Better Half; is naught but a rambling plod through “She’s still gone”.

If she can see and hear in this same time line I would ask three things. Where you taken care of by the one I prayed through for you? Please enjoy your new existence free of pain. Lastly, make me come into a fortune that I can spend on nothing but things you would do to help others in need.

If not let me give life the one finger salute.

I sprained both middle fingers doing yoga this morning. If that doesn’t disqualify me, I’d love a shot at Ash’s.

A personal retrospective of my own misadventures of endurance and survival would allow me great mirth and empathy to be a witness to another's travails.

Count me in!

I’m pretty sad…I think it ate my comment. Unless you have to approve them, then that makes a lot of sense.

Totally get it. I had the same fears when I moved to Jamaica. But you have a partner so you'll never totally tank, right? Not that you'd depend on him but you'll never be completely destitute! You'll make it!
