That was fun! It only took 25 times, with a slight editing tweak, to not sound like a complete doofus. (I think in the final cut, I sound only slightly goofy.) There’s nothing like putting your personality onto YouTube for all of cyberspace to see.
I made this little tribute to my mom for the A Woman Inspired conference.
The A Woman Inspired conference is different than your regular conference – it’s online, a treat for those of us seeking to meet other like-minded women, but without leaving home. And it’s affordable! (I think I literally sighed with relief when I found the website. A few of the speakers are women I “know” via blogs and the Internet, so I’m tickled to be able to virtually rub shoulders with them. They inspire me too!)
Check out the web conference and I hope to “see” you there.

What a wonderful WONDERFUL tribute to your mom.
You did a great job. You sound just the way I thought you would and you brought the whole East Coast accent back to me (I’ve been gone for so long now!).
Love the backdrop of all your books.
Take care!

I have an accent?? no way!
Ok, so it isn’t the typical Jersey accent – it is still an accent from the East Coast, south of New York, north of Virginia
Well done!

Also love the way you use video in your blog!

Monica,
Your moms sounds like such a wonderful lady (pretty little lady too!) I’m so glad that you shared your story with us. I was a victim of abuse from my first husband as well. I only wish I had known someone like your mom back then. Keep getting that story out. We will do our best to help you!
