I want to thank all of my wonderful followers and kind strangers who have happened upon my blog and provided support and encouragement. I am pleased to report that my book proposal may soon be made into a book! Therefore, based on the advice of the literary agent, and due to publisher’s requirements, I have been asked to temporarily suspend my blog. I will be spending my time polishing my manuscript! If you check back from time to time, I will keep you updated. (Wish me luck…)
PS…THIS POST IS OLDER THAN THE HILLS…MY BOOK HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AS AN E-BOOK; THE APPLE TREE: RAISING 5 KIDS WITH DISABILITIES AND REMAINING SANE, AT I-BOOKS, AMAZON, ECT.

I have rarely known anyone who “walks the walk” with as much personal commitment as you. It would be enough for most folks to “give” while on the job 9-5, but you have made this your life’s work 24-7. Children with the challenges of the magnitude that yours have faced far too often slip through the hands of most conventional service providers; or worse yet are completely invisible. Your blog shares a very intimate opportunity to bear witness to the reality of a “day in the life” that is indisputably authentic. Your book deserves to be published!!
Good luck!!! 🙂
How wonderful that the publishing world may be giving you an opportunity to share your stories with a wider audience. Your own particular brand of empathy, humor and life experience will surely give you all the tools you need to polish your book to a shiny sparkling gem!
Best of luck to you during the process. We’ll be looking forward to your updates, and even though we’ll miss your posts, it’s heartwarming to know that we may be seeing you in print some day. Congrats to you!
CONGRATULATIONS! I never had a second of doubt that you would be published soon. I can’t wait to buy this book!
We’ll all be here when you come back – I’ve subscribed to you in my Google Reader, so I’ll know as soon as you post again.
Good luck!
Your postings make me want to laugh and cry. You provide a perspective toward raising children with special needs that needs to get out there to more people as there are many parents dealing with the emotional trials of raising special needs children. I am axiously anticipating your book. It will be a real help to so many! Can’t wait til you are back
I am so happy for you, and so sad for us. I will really miss your wisdom and humor!
I always knew you had a great book in you. Congratulations. I can’t wait until it comes out so I can say I “know” the author!
My friends and I at work all read your posts together and laugh at your humor and insight. (We work at an agency for children with disabilities.) We wish all of our parents had your outlook and acceptance. We are all going to miss you! Hurry back, our breaks won’t be the same!
That is such great news! I can’t wait for the book, but I am going to go through withdrawal waiting for it to come out!!!
I am soooo happy for you and I wish you the very best! 🙂 Keep us posted.
Oh…I just found you!
Congrats! I hope the book is fabulous and turns out just the way you want. That’s an amazing accomplishment.
Congrats and good luck!!

Lindsey, I have loved all your blogs and have shared them with parents of children with disabilities. You give voice to their lives and experiences. We can never take that perspective for granted!
You are such a talented writer! you deserve a published book, good luck to you!
Looking forward to reading your book. You are truly an exceptional person and I believe you have been blessed with the strength to endure with grace, love and humor. Hoping your book becomes a best seller.
YEAH for you!!! Boo for us, obviously we’ll all miss you for a while!
Lindsey, you have always been an amazing woman…..good luck with getting this book in print! I’m waiting for the read.
Well dear friend, (who I feel I know even though I’ve only read your blog.) I’ve been telling you s that you could write a whopper of a book! I know you have written about manyof the trials and tribulations of life in your family. You have handled each and every ‘trial’ with patience and knowledge of the best course of action. Your personal knowledge of all the available services including educational, medical-psychological and legal all of which you are expert at maneuvering , have given the children a head start on life that they would never have known in any other living situation. You have provided every tool and opportunity available to ensure that they will have the best possible start in their adult lives.
I have always maintained that you will go straight to heaven and have the best possible afterlife which you will truly deserve. You have impressed me day after day from the first time I found your blog, and I bow to you.
Hi,
I am happy to hear about the book. Some are just lucky to get a super mom and you are one of them. I am very happy for you. I can hardly wait to read your new book. I am sure I will learn a lot and can use the info with all my classes.
I love this! Best of luck to you with the book, I can’t wait to see it in print
Congratulations!!!
That is awesome! Please let us know when your book is coming out, etc., so we can cheer for you!!

That is fantastic!! Bad news for the blogosphere, but good news for everyone, whether they blog or not! Congratulations.
Congratulations. I can’t wait to see you on the Oprah show plugging your new book.
I am so excited for you! I will be the first in line to purchase a copy and I know it will be a big seller because so many people will relate to the overall theme of surviving despite tough circumstances, what ever they may be. Good luck!
We understand!!! We love you!!! And will look forward to the book.
Big Congrats! This is sooooo exciting!
