A Big Chapter Added to My Life This Afternoon
An advanced copy of my book made it from the publishing house to my office in Beverly Hills today. From Homemaker to Breadwinner's publication is another incredible event to add to the many blessings in my life. Here are some photos that we took in my office, minutes after tearing open the shrink wrap from the first copy of my book.
I show one of my favorite parts of the book, the photos of my family, to Libby Shapiro, the manager of our Beverly Hills brokerage.
The proud author of a new book at her desk. The cream puffs you see on the right are a little celebratory treat all the way from Patisserie Chantilly, located in LA's South Bay. Like Jonathan Gold, the Pulitzer Prize winning food columnist for the LA Weekly, everyone in the office agreed that they're some of the best pastries we've had. When are they going to open up one in Beverly Hills?
I stand with three fabulous women. From left to right: Wilma (my assistant), me, Libby, (the office manager of our 90210 brokerage), and Victoria (my assistant). As I said in my book dedication, "Thank you Victoria Peters and Wilma Winer, whose organizational skills and incredible dedication keep me running in the right direction."
I'm with my book in the lobby of our Beverly Hills Brokerage.
I give Victoria a big celebratory hug on this special day.
Now that I’ve seen the advanced copy, I can’t wait to send my book to all my friends and family who have supported me throughout my journey as homemaker and breadwinner.
It’s a dream come true, icing on the cake, or more accurately, the cover. My son, Howie and his company grand-jete, designed the book cover. If you look at the image, which appears at the top of my blog, you'll see the title looks like icing. That's because it is icing--He actually went to a local bakery and had them ice the title of the book. So what you see is an image of real butter cream. If you look at it long enough, you may want to even eat it. His talent continues to amaze me. I'm a firm believer in the adage that mom's are more proud of their children's accomplishments than they are of their own.
To reach this point has been along process. Since I started this project a couple of years ago, my career and family have continued to bring fulfillment to my life. Here are a some events that have marked the time between two years ago and today.
I’ve sold 24 listings and there's still more demand than supply in the West Side. My daughter has two kids now--Eva is two years old and Joshua is five. In my most objective view, they are two of the most talented and beautiful grandkids a grandmother could have. Nicole, my daughter, has transitioned from residency to private practice at Cedars-Sinai. Howard's company, grand-jete is continuing to thrive. He was even the featured on Apple's website, click here to see more. And Michael's ambition, talent, and business savvy are taking the family business into the future.
Today is a day to celebrate. And I'll continue to do so as another chapter has been added to my life as a result of From Homemaker to Breadwinner.
