Sami's first onstage appearance.

This is Sami during her first public appearance onstage. It was totally unexpected and not rehearsed. TV personality Jeff Crilley handed her the microphone and asked her to talk about her book, while radio personality J-D Wells assisted her from off stage with the commentary.

Media and Publicity...oh to be a kid...

I have to admit, I am totally in awe of my daughter. Sami has no fear and it amazes me. In less than a week she has become a media darling. In the past week she has:

~been the subject of a national teleconference by Billionaire Business Coach Bill Bartmann (http://www.billbartmann.com/)




~been interviewed for a Texas Newspaper
~had her first on-stage appearance at DFW Networking in front of 150-200 people at which she was called on-stage, handed a microphone and basically asked to tell what her book was about. With no rehearsal, no preparation, she spoke from the heart and the audience applauded her! I am so proud of her. And pleased with myself because I actually had the camera with me.


Add to this that she has started receiving requests to appear in stores for book signings.

Plus we are receiving calls from people in various professions (ie: educators, network marketers, religious organizations, etc) asking for interviews, book signings and permission to use Sami's book in programs for their members.

It's been an incredible first week. People are raving about the book and stating how they have found the "perfect gift" for kids this holiday season.

It's truly a blessing to be able to share our adventure with the world.

Til next time,
Caryn aka 'Sami's mom'
