Pinch me. Keith and I are in New York this week to launch my debut book, Happy Wives Club, and will brave the freezing temperatures today to head over to Barnes & Noble to purchase my first store copy!
When I founded this club February 4, 2010, I had no idea how desperately it was needed. I knew I needed it. I knew my girlfriends needed it. But who could have predicted the community would grow to include more than 500,000 women in over 110 countries?
Clearly, my girlfriends and I weren’t the only ones who needed to know love and marriage still go hand in hand – even after 20, 30, 40 together. We weren’t the only ones who needed to be reassured that the positive hope we feel in our hearts about marriage and our wonderful husbands was, for a lack of a better term, real.
The last thing on my mind that cool February night was writing a book. And yet, here I am four years later with a book arriving in stores across the country – Today.
There are two things I want you to know about this book. The first is it is different. Unlike any marriage book you’ve read in the past. It’s been described as Eat, Pray, Love meets The 5 Love Languages and a synopsis can be found here.
The second is that I worked unbelievably hard on it and pray it delivers the goods. If you are able, I’d be honored if you’d pick up a copy (or two) today. And then tell your friends and family about it.
I thought about sharing with you all the amazing endorsements this book has received from people like 3x Olympic Gold Medalist Misty May-Trenor and New York Times Bestselling authors, Dr. Les & Leslie Parrott, Priscilla Shirer and Dr. Lissa Rankin. But those can also be found here.
What I think, what I hope, will be more impactful is for you to see how this book has already begun changing marriages for the better; taking them from good to great and from great to extraordinary. How it has sparked so many thought-provoking conversations on marriage and what it takes to create a lasting -and happy- one.
So in honor of the Happy Wives Club book release, I won’t be blogging this week. Instead, I am turning the reins over to hundreds of bloggers who have joined the It’s All About Love blog tour in support of the launch and are sharing their thoughts on marriage and creating a love that not only lasts a lifetime but does so happily. Scroll down to read their amazing posts and…
**DON’T FORGET TO GO TO THE STORES TODAY TO PURCHASE HAPPY WIVES CLUB**
You can find the book nationwide at Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Wal-Mart, Target, Sam’s Club, and nearly every major book retailer. And if you’d prefer not to leave the comfort of your home, you can order the book on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and all of your favorite online retailers.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for joining this journey with me. I hope this book makes you proud. Not only proud to be a member (or aspiring member) of this club but proud to be among the wonderful women positively changing the tone about marriage around the world.
Until Monday…make it a great week!
