What propels me? Timely Truths, Amusing Musings, and Fun Profundities.
#47ThingsILearned is published! It is available through Amazon in both a paperback and Kindle version. I have one of each, but must own up to preferring paper. I like to dog-ear, notate, scribble in, doodle over, and chew on books.
Publishing has been a marathon, a quest with an International Standard Book Number at the finish line. It took me 47 years to get it, and I freely admit to scrawling my “race number” (aka ISBN) on my arm with a sharpie, proudly, and going to the gym for several hours to burn off the adrenaline of authorship. I have also danced like Snoopy from Peanuts. And celebrated with PIE!
I like #47ThingsILearned, and I hope you do too. I’m going back in. Watch for #47LearningsForLeaders. Soon!
READER PROPS!
“#47ThingsILearned was an incredible book! It was inspiring, positive, uplifting and funny. Deena Ebbert’s combination of the profound and the humorous is pure literary genius. I could not go to sleep last night until I finished it. I know it is one I will read over and over again, especially on those days when I need some humor and perspective in my life. Everyone should own a copy of this book!!!”

FUN PATROL PROPS!
Poem written for me by the Fun Patrol, part of the 100+ youth (ages 13-18) who taught me tons while I was teaching them Protocol of Movement and Situational Social Awareness (aka Manners) using #47ThingsILearned :
We value who we are
brave, strong, and honorable,
we establish the bar
of respect infallible
Stand out, be strong
make lasting impressions
listen well
to hear the song
of polite conversations
Sharing, compassion and kindness
Positive attitude and truthfulness
this is the code
we will uphold.
~The Fun Patrol
