May is turning out to be an incredibly exciting month around the Goodwin household. We are off to NYC to witness our 18 year-old son, Rob's, performance in the Essentially Ellington Jazz Festival at Jazz at Lincoln Center under the tutelage of the famed and revered Wynton Marsalis.
Next for me it is a mini book tour from Virginia to North Carolina (watch out, if you say it out loud it might come true!) and then the icing on the cake is a return trip to NYC to receive either a bronze, silver or gold (they all look bright and shiny to me) medal in the Independent Book Publishers' award, otherwise known as an IPPY, in the Inspirational/Spiritual category. What fun. The real pleasure is thinking of Francina and the opportunities unfolding ahead that are allowing me to share the 'life lesson' gifts she not only bestowed upon me but insisted that I continue to pass on. As she put it, "We have alot of work to do girls' and this is a challenge that I am honored to fulfill.
