Steve and Judy's Travels!

Matt, Lindsay, Austin, Arie, Ayla, and a special guest appearance by Jesse.

It’s a palo verde tree.  Palo verde trees are really smart.  They drop their leaves during the hottest dryest weather to conserve water, but they have chlorophyll in their bark so they can still photosynthesize.  During times of adequate moisture they hold onto their green leaves.

They bloom yellow flowers, the fallen petals creating that golden shadow.

Hot like triple digit hot.

I’ve been taking my lunchtime walks at 10:00 at night in the dark to avoid the heat.

Today was more mild though.  I got to make that walk around Steve and Lori’s neighborhood in the daylight before it got too hot.

It’s a very nice neighborhood.

To balance the excitement of the book launch, against the backdrop of what triggered the book in the first place.

Lindsay knows of what she speaks.  In addition to her personal experience, she’s a practicing therapist, with an advanced degree and work in suicide prevention and addiction.  She has this book plus a weekly podcast dealing with these issues. She wrote this book as a resource for those in need who are reaching out for help, and for those dealing with the loss of loved ones.  Lindsay spoke.  Matt spoke.  The publisher spoke.  Lindsay spoke again.  It was a good launch.  The book is available on Amazon. 

The next step is to get the book to 100 Amazon reviews which will advance its exposure to the next level.
