Good Glorious Morning,
My Constant Contact Family,
I trust all is well and you are being safe in this weather and are enjoying GOD's New & Blessed Year thus far.
My
New Year
got off to more of a blast and a
blessing
than I had anticipated. But then,
GOD is so good!!
Thus, I wanted to share with you a
Photo Update
(below)
of my 2 weeks of activities (planned & unplanned) while in sunny Cancun
at The Royal Sands Resort.
Week 1 culminated with an requested unplanned
Talk
at the Resort’s
Royal
Welcome Reception
and an impromptu
Book Signing
in
The Royal Market following the Reception.
First, I was surprised and felt honored to find my books on the shelf
in The Royal Market and in the Royal Spa when I arrived on
Sunday, December 30th..
Who Knew?!
(
see market photos below
)
Then, I felt
highly favored
to be asked by the manager to provide a
Book Signing while there and to Speak at the owners’ Welcome Reception on that Sunday about my inspirational memoir that they had on sale in
The Royal Markets.
Needless to say, I humbly consented.
During that first week, the manager gathered all of my books from the markets at the other Royal Resort properties
(The Royal Cancun International, Royal Islander, Royal Caribbean, and The Royal Hacienda in Playa del Carmen)
and brought them all
(totaling 68 books) over to The Royal Sands for the
Book Signing on that Sunday.
From my first week there to after the book signing on last Sunday, the market had sold out of all of the books they previously had and all but
3 of the 68 books gathered.
What an unexpected blessing, indeed!
The Royal Resorts Foundation will
donate the proceeds from my book
sales to their
charity school for disadvantaged children
—where I
visited two years ago when I was in Cancun...and made a wonderful connection with the teachers and the students there
(see photos from that visit on my website).
The rest of this week was spent mostly writing, reading, relaxing with
the “
must have”
evening massage on the terrace
“under the moon
and stars”,
and chatting with several new friends I met.
I returned home from Sunny Cancun (83 degrees) on Friday,
just in time to welcome the
first snow
of the new year.
Burrr!
