Did you hear? I announced yesterday that The Merry Little Christmas Project book and planner will be available on MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2016. Mark it on your calendar. Add it to your date book. Circle it in red. Set a reminder on your phone. (Or you can just wait for me to remind you on Monday. That works too.) On Monday morning we are going LIVE and you won’t want to miss my announcement  – I have some good news for my readers!

In the meantime, I have two fun little proposals for you.

  • Proposal #1: Would you like to be part of The Merry Little Christmas Project book launch team?? I am opening up an application for a very limited time for those who would LOVE to apply to receive a FREE book and planner in exchange for sharing about them on social media. I will be selecting a small group of us to be part of this team no later than this Sunday, October 10. Click here to apply now. The application will close on Saturday night, October 8, so don’t wait!
  • Proposal #2: Would you be willing to share a one-time social media status update about The Merry Little Christmas Project book launch this upcoming Monday? If so, click through this link to sign up for my Thunderclap campaign. If I am able to get 100 people to support me with a Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr update by Monday, then the campaign will go live on Monday at noon and your status will be posted. If not, it won’t. But let’s just say I have total confidence that we are going to reach 100. As of this writing, we are already over halfway there! Click here to help make this happen!

IMPORTANT: If you haven’t yet, click here to sign up for my 3 Days to an Organized Christmas Challenge. It will help you to head into the Christmas season with your head held high, a plan in place and a renewed focus on what matters most to you at Christmastime. I will walk you through the steps you can take right now to start the season with a purpose, some simple preparation and a PLAN that will work for you.

And may I just add how grateful I am for your support, friends? These books would NEVER have been written if it weren’t for this amazing community of readers and followers. I am SO excited – and maybe just a tad nervous – about offering these books to you. If you have ever thought, “Christmas shouldn’t be this way”, I can’t wait to help you change that.
