Good morning!
Hubbie, baby, and I got into to New York City at almost midnight last night – our first long flight with the little guy. He was a champ, and – to make life extra-interesting for his parents- – decided to spring his first tooth mid-flight!
I love New York City so much – my soul is in a perpetual happy dance state while I’m here, and arriving last night, something in me couldn’t stop saying, “Home sweet home.”
Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at the Emerging Women Conference, and then I head into a week of book tour activities – speaking engagements, Today Show (Tuesday), and lots of other good stuff.
Last week my husband asked me what kind of vacation I might like to take when all this is done, and I thought about it, and said back to him – I feel like I am already having my ideal vacation – my book tour! That’s the truth. Being in New York, talking to people about the ideas that matter so much to me, and (let’s be honest) some professional hair and make up sessions too? Honestly, that’s my kind of fun. It takes a little courage for me to say that, but it’s the truth.
The Playing Big book will be officially out in the world on sale beginning next Tuesday – so exciting! These are the last few days to preorder a copy of the book and get the special bonuses – two Q&A calls with me (you can call in live or listen to the audio recording) and some other goodies. Click HERE to learn more and get your book!
Sending love,
Tara
Dear Tara,
I am very much looking forward to reading your book and greatly enjoy your emails.
However, maybe you’re missing something? Perhaps when your husband was asking you about the holiday, maybe it’s him that wants a holiday with you/you and baba? Are you getting so swept up in this that you’re missing signs. Is it a bit ‘me me me’? Just a thought.
Very best of luck in New York x
I’m so thrilled for you Tara. You are doing exactly what I dream of doing.
In this post, I loved how you shared that it took courage for you to express your truth. It’s a great example of letting in your audience by expressing your humanity and vulnerability.
Thank you and have a wonderful time!
Hi Tara and the Ladies…my fav song is Alicia Keys and Jayz…NY…I am so glad you are enjoying our fabulous NY and congrats to your son cutting his first tooth…remarkable to discover on a his first plane flight no doubt to the big apple. Ahh, such is Life on this wonderful planet and all the first moments we will encounter as humans…keep us posted on the events we are in your support, enjoy every single moment….
The intensity of writing and publishing a book is a bit of a strain on the support team, I agree.
Hi Tara,
I’ve just gone to Amazon.co.uk where the book won’t be released for 2 more days, so I’ve pre-ordered it. Can I still get access to the bonus items (I went to the link and it doesn’t show any of that)?
I loved your article in the NYTimes about criticism as well — definitely looking to learning more tactics on that one in your book!
