Hi!

[Leah Boulet]

@Julia Thanks Julia! That is super advise. I keep thinking I don’t know enough to start.

@Leah-Boulet congrats on retirement and joining SVS. There is so much to learn it can be overwhelming, but I have to agree with @Julia that DOING is the best education. By doing your book you will learn about WHAT you need to learn about!

And remember, have fun with it

@theprairiefox Thanks! It is exciting and scarey! Trying to keep doing the Doing and move forward.

@Leah-Boulet Hi Leah! Congrats on the milestone! I agree with everyone on the DOING part. I also feel many times that I should take time to learn more and gather as much knowledge as I can before I start doing so that I get it right, but learning is a continuous process and till you don't execute, you won't know how much you've actually learned! And this forum is a wonderful place to get feedback and improve yourself. Have fun!

@Leah-Boulet welcome to the forums!

@Leah-Boulet Welcome Canadian -I am from Mississauga Ontario. Making a book local sounds like a most enchanting endeavour -when I think local I automatically think small town whether farm town or British country town.

Looking forward to seeing your book come to be! And congratulations on your coming retirement~!

@Leah-Boulet Welcome Leah and congratulations on your retirement! So glad you came out of hiding. I understand because I am the same way. But its like jumping off the diving board for the first time... just have to jump in. I am excited to see your book!

[Leah Boulet]

@Neha-Rawat Hi Neha! Super advice. I sure have to let go of some the knowledge gathering and jump more into the “doing”!

[Leah Boulet]

@Chip-Valecek Thanks Chip! Once I’m retired I hope to be on here more often.

[Leah Boulet]

@johnchoi Thanks John. Only two weeks to go!

@fullerj Hi fullerj! Thanks ! I am looking forward to retirement - 2 weeks to go! I will give my best shot to making a book, though I made wade into the shallow end before jump off the diving board in too the deep end.

@Heather-Boyd Hi fellow Canadian! Yup, I am definitely small town, surrounded by river and bush. Lots of history which is the direction I hope to head towards. What a great forum this is! Loads of encouragement and support.
