Questions for you
Question 1: How did these events inspire you to write a book? What made you want to share these chapters of your life with others? -- I love love love telling stories, especially happy stories!
Question 2: How would things have been like if you didn't buy the frog? Do you think that significant moments in your life were shaped after buying it that would not have occurred otherwise? Oh, I would have found something else. I have a gorilla in my office who talks. When you squeeze a button he says GREAT IDEA! and if you squeeze it again he says BRILLIANT and FABULOUS THINKING. Maybe the book would have been about a very encouraging gorilla instead of a yoga frog!
