all i did was listen books have arrived!
i have begun packaging up the dear orders that have come in so far...
including these fun girlfriend packs!
shelves have been hung, in white, green, yellow, orange, pink + blue,
for the other books to rest
+ await their new homes.
as delightful as it is to finally receive these into my hands,
i am finding that my deepest joy is in the sending them back out.
in the letting go. in the giving my heart away.
xox
...
here's a lil' rough video of my first opening of the book ~
you can see both my practical/checking it out + simply delighted sides:

How exciting and beautiful in every way. Written with love, received with love and shared with love!

Congratulations, Rachel!!! We do the same with most books--we take a sniff and smell the printed word : )
Hope your books make it to some libraries, too--where many people can check out and enjoy your beautiful wisdom. I nominate our local library for a copy, if you decide to have a contest!!
Enjoy re-packing your artful books, sending them off into the world again for another journey.
FIRST of all when i started watching your Utube happening, a tear drop fell on my key board.
SECOND, last night i went to amazon and they were sold out of your book
THIRD i am so glad amazon was a zero, so that i could order for some other loves in my life.
FOURTH/FIRST: i could not be more ELATED for YOU than i am! xoxoxo
Tears are welling in my eyes...reminds me of the final scene in the Julie and Julia movie, where Julia's standing in the kitchen and her sweet-as-pie husband hands her a package from the day's mail and it's her just-published, long-awaited, fabulous cookbook...I cried with joy for her, and now for YOU, Rachel! Yay, yay, YAY!!!!
happy tears:)
this is like looking at the sweeter
than air
newborn baby pics
of a dear friend
....you've longed and prayed
and cheered for the wee babe
as it grew safe inside her
until that day
when she could hold (and sniff:))
the love she held so long inside!
Whoooooo-hoooooo-ing loud and long
with you, friend:)

Jennifer
