(A long time ago, Sept 12, 1973, Sunday afternoon at 2PM t...)
A long time ago, Sept 12, 1973, Sunday afternoon at 2PM to be exact, a forty-two year old frustrated, disappointed and very petulant housewife sat at her kitchen table mulling over her fate. She had the kids she was expected to have. She had the hard working hubby and the big house and a nice car. She played passable bridge and was a pretty darn good cook. But she was not happy. She grabbed the yellow legal tablet sitting on the table in front of her and began to write. She wrote non-stop for three days and when she was through she knew that her life had to change and she was the one who had to make those changes. Nobody was going to do it for her. Life went on and so did her writing. For years she chronicled her journey, the good, the bad and the just plain silly. Notes From A Chameleon is the story of one woman's journey from despair to delight. Although it's a very short book, it's a very long story. One that may be just enough to encourage the woman who is now standing at that same edge of that same scary jumping off place where she once stood to go ahead and take her first tentative steps. Notes is a gift from one woman to every woman. It's a book of encouragement, hope and survival. It will make the reader laugh, nod her head (vigorously) in agreement and maybe even begin her own life-changing journey. If it's not about the reader, it is very likely about someone she knows. And if nothing else, she will probably dust less often and enjoy life more.
