			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Shield</em></strong> launched less than two weeks ago and the response has been so positive.  My hopes in writing it were that it would help others and I have received many e-mails from people who have made changes in their lives since reading it or who now feel encouraged and hopeful.  For me, that is success!</p>
<p>Several people have written about <em><strong>Shield</strong></em> and what they got out of reading it.  It seems that whatever stage of adoption or foster care people are in, they are finding it helpful and there have even been a few people who have are not on an adoption or foster care journey who have still been able to apply it to their lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you to those who have already started to spread the word about my new eBook &#8220;Shield: A Framework of Self-Care for Foster and Adoptive Families&#8221;.  The response so far from those who have read it reinforces the need for this resource.  I am so hopeful that it will help families and particularly moms who are wondering how to prepare practically and emotionally to add to their family or who are in the thick of post-fostering or adoption and are feeling overwhelmed.  In order to help though, I need people to know about this resource and that is where I need you to spread the word in any way you can.</p>
<p>Remember that this week, there is a special discount for those who commit to promoting the book through e-mail, word of mouth, twitter, Facebook, passing along to adoption professionals, blog review, or all of the above.  Just enter the code <strong>promote</strong> at checkout (pdf format only) to receive 20% off.  Thanks so much!</p>
