Even in Jamaica

This morning I was on a long conference call, which left a lady from Jamaica waiting for me in the reception area for nearly half an hour.  She didn't have an appointment, so I didn't feel too guilty about her waiting.  Imagine my surprise, though, when I found her crying in the reception area when I finished my conference call.

Are you okay?  I asked.  Yes, but I am reading your book, she said.  I couldn't help but cry because it is such a beautiful story.  When she was leaving she asked me where she could buy the book.  I have to finish reading it, she said.  So I gave her a book.  She earned it with her Jamaican tears.

      Ping put the books out where clients can read them.  All I did was write the book.  Choosing to read the book is a voluntary act.  I am flattered every time someone tells me that the story touched them in some way.

      The second edition is almost ready to publish.  I just went through the final proof and made a few changes to the layout.   It will be a good start to the new year, and we will have both the first and second edition displayed at the office.
