Happy belated birthday and wedding blessings!!
RJ, If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing just won a second national award, ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year -- I'm so thrilled.
I wonder if you want to change your image of the book cover on this site to the new one I have posted in my photos with the two gold seals on it?
I am hoping this honor will encourage more women who need help to read the book...thanks again for your support!
Hugs, LeslieAnn
