Stellar news: One of my favorite people, the wonderful writer, podcaster, and all-around-fantastic-gal, Nancy Davis Kho, has a book coming out in December - The Thank-You Project, Cultivating Happiness One Letter of Gratitude at a Time. Yay!

Extra credit stellar news: Today is her birthday. Yaaaaay!
What's the book about? Nancy explains it like this:
I feel super lucky to be able to share the story about the year I wrote thank-you letters to 50 people, places, and pastimes that had shaped me, inspired me, and helped me become the person I am. The letters were written to family and friends, of course, but also teachers, bosses, mentors, authors, cities and yes, a handful of ex-boyfriends and former friends. (Don’t worry, you don’t have to mail every letter you write to yield the happiness benefits of gratitude ) It was a wholly unexpected way to find more peace during what turned out to be a trying and turbulent time, and it is still working, three years later.
I had the extreme pleasure of reading an advance copy of The Thank-You Project and it is fantastic. Part how-to, part the science behind gratitude, and part compelling memoir, I loved it. I know you will too.
