Wow. It’s been a busy week full of growth here at the very super-secret world headquarters for the peace happiness and love blog. My thank you notes this week will give you a peek at what’s been happening:
First, thank you to everyone for stopping by and commenting last week. You have no idea, guys, how exciting that was for me. You know who you are, and you know I love ya.
Next, a big poster-sized thank you note to Gretchen at The Happiness Project. Just so you know, my gals and I have our own Happiness Project Group ready to kick off next Monday night… so soon the world better watch out when Staci, Margo, Denise, Melissa, Laurel and I get going! If you need the scoop on a Happiness Project of your own, be sure to visit Gretchen’s website.
I’ve been scooching around on Twitter and other places, getting lots of updates and reading like a maniac. One of my recent discoveries has been Suzanne Falter-Barnes, who did an amazing interview recently with Pam Slim (the “Escape from Cubicle Nation” author and blogger). Suzanne, you’ve really got it happenin’ over there at your blog, and Pam, I’m absolutely in awe of you. Both of you rock. Thanks ever so much for all the goodies, both of you!
Speaking of Twitter, this week my followers have gone through the roof (ok, perhaps it’s a low roof, but it’s still a roof). While I try to get a grip on this new mode of communication for me, I wanted to let all of you know how much I appreciate you paying even a split second’s worth of attention to me.
Thank you, each one of my new “Tweople” (eeew… I should never say that again. It felt creepy and could lead to “twenemies”). I’m still getting to know all of you, but I can tell many of us are going to be good friends.
Last but not least…
Finally, as I mentioned last week, I’ve finally figured out my “thing” and have decided to begin more openly sharing it with others.
(Now there’s a sentence I really hope my priest doesn’t read!)
But seriously, I’ve started by setting up some “playdates” — all free. Basically, it’s the kind of info you’d share with a good friend during the 30 seconds you get to talk when you take your kids to the park. Something funny, something to think about.
Playdate is definitely more appropriate.
Now please don’t think “serious”. No. It’s all really super fun with sugar on top. They’re not going to be serious, but rather relaxing and giggly. And there will eventually be recordings and an “elephant manifesto” once the picky elephant is ready for it to spread worldwide.
I hope you’ll take a peek at my “Let’s Play!” page and maybe — just maybe — sign up so we can have playdates.
My inner 4-year-old is screaming — Ooooh. It’s gonna be so much fun! You should! You should! Just say yes!
My inner 40-ish-year-old is calmly saying, yes, click the link. Do it before I have to twitter my tweople.
Well, that’s it for now. Thanks everyone — I feel so amazingly fortunate to have met you and I’ve learned so much from you. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!
Back again? That's awesome. Thanks for stopping by!

The Play Date sounds fun. I don’t think I can make it this month but I will really try for next month. I’m still struggling getting used to Twitter. It’s hard for me to write meaningful stuff in less than 140 characters.
Here are my thank you notes for the week:
To my daughter’s new guitar teacher who has really inspired her.
To my mom for helping me through a rough patch yesterday.
To some friends – old and new – who are giving me the support and encouragement I need.
