My former student Lesa Engelthaler contributes to the Dallas Morning News, and she interviewed me a few weeks ago about Informed Consent. And ya know what's cool? Though neither of us planned it this way (nor could we have done so if we'd tried), the piece ran today. And it included the info on the group book signing in which I participated this afternoon.

As a result, a couple that my hubby and I used to know from a previous church (sang in choir together) read about it and showed up. We had not seen them in at least 12 years. Maybe 15. Great fun!

A posse of my former students showed up, too. Loved that! (I once got seated at a book signing next to Charles Stanley, and his line was 1/10 of a mile long while I had...one person. I prayed that would not happen again today!)

One piece of irony: If you followed the Dove Commercial link (prior post) and have kept up with the comments (especially Heather J's post about it from Africa), you know the whole subject of beauty has been a topic here of late. Well, when I opened the newspaper, I found my photo staring back at me. But do you think they used the current one? (The one I sent them a few days ago?) Course not! They somehow found the old Glamour Shot they ran ten years ago when I contributed as a guest columnist. Musta hadta dig deep in the archives for that one! Sheesh.
