This Friday, I will be meeting my favourite author. She's coming to CANADA.... Western.... Alberta.... Edmonton!!! Patti Digh writes these wonderful books that are full of wisdom, laughter and pretty pictures!!! Her books have accompanied me through various rooms, in my house (yes! even the bathroom!), and have gotten me through a growth on my spine, the surgery, the long recovery and, now, its regrowth. From her words, I have howled out loud with laughter and cried a kleenex full. What also makes her books special is that she asks artists (professional and dabblers), from around the world, to illustrate her books.
About a month ago, I wrote on my FaceBook page, " Need your advice....I have the opportunity to hear (& possibly meet) my favorite author, Patti Digh. She is a keynote speaker at a conference in Edmonton. In order for me to see/listen her at this conference, I have to pay $150.00 for a 'conference day pass.' Money is tight, as i am scheduled for the Fine Arts Conference (over $600.00 for the following week and I am part time ), and I'm not interested in any of the sessions...I just want to see/listen to her. Should I go? — with Patti Digh.
I was expecting my friends to respond, and they did, AFTER Patti herself responded!! She was the first to respond and she wrote, "How about we just grab a cup of coffee instead!" Ahhhhhh, YES!!!!!

Here are some videos to give you an idea about who Patti is, and how special her books are.....
