CHAPPY DEBBIE'S WEEK-IN-REVIEW!10 years ago

Another great vlog, Michelle, well done :) LOOOVE the perspective you gave that rejection is a way for us to appreciate victory when it does come AND it's an opportunity for God to encourage us through family, friends, and ice cream, LOVE it!!
The red lipstick was a nice touch, my preference would be brown or purple instead of red, but it looked like fun :) My fave Ben & Jerry's is PHISH FOOD also, how cool!!! They have a quart of that available????? The pint is definitely too small, I'll have to check that out!
Thank you for SUCH encouraging messages that show we're not alone and that there is purpose even when we're rejected so that we can be prepared to deal with it. Very nicely done and you are quite the entertainer!
Blessings, Kara
I love this! You gave me the lipstick idea when I posted about one of my rejections a few months ago, and I haven't forgotten about it. In fact, I'm working on a nice collection of them. And when I finally get my book published, I'm going to post my rejection tally with a big smile. :-)
Thanks, Kara, as usual! You're such a sweetie!
And when you do kiss that rejection goodbye, Gwen, make sure to snap a pic of it to send to me!
Ha.Ha. Thanks for NOT reading an excerpt. Must say I love the lips as long as I NEVER see them up close and personal.
You really don't like the lips? Huh. Maybe I'll have to rethink my Make-up With Michelle segment for next week.
Lol
Thanks for stopping by, Janalyn!
This is why I love you. So, is like, Fabio and Michelle gonna hit the big time any time this century?
Ya know, Lisa, that's a fantabulous idea. I should get my buddy to compile all those scenes into a book.
I wish I'd known about this back when I got TONS of rejections on my first book.. What did I do? Lipstick? Ben and Jerry's? NO! I wallowed in self-pity and even worse, self-loathing for months on end. Believe me, the lipstick and Ben and Jerrys would have been far better. You are an inspiration to us all!!
Well it's sure a good thing you're beyond that rejection stage, girlfriend!
I hopped over hear from Novel Rocket and I'm so glad I did. This vlog was genius. The whole time I was thinking, "There has to be a reason she's putting on lipstick." And there was!
I've dipped my toe a bit into vlogging. It's a fun way to change things up.
Hah! My blog's been called many things, Katie, but never genius. Thanks for stopping by and I'll have to nose around to find your vlogs.
