I went to the Doctor's office for what I thought was a simple kidney infection.  After tons of poking and prodding, with mulitple "ouch" replies- he looked at me and said "get to the emergency room..."

The last thing I wanted to do was spend a few hours in an ER- but I went anyway... Now I've had a baby- (c-section to be exact) so I know pain.  The pain in my lower left back was really getting bad.  I could no longer ignore my symptoms.  It was time to take care of the problem.

I was asked back to speak in Woodstock Illinois this week. I’d been to Woodstock only once before; it was back in January, and I talked to 300 women at the historic Opera House. We sold two boxes of books, and the response was so fantastic, they asked me to come back for an event that billed as “dinner, and conversation with author Jenniffer Weigel”.

I recently had a book signing at the Barnes and Noble in Davenport Iowa. I wasn't sure who was going to show up, or if I was going to connect with anyone, but I always hope for at least ONE person who gives me that sort of "goose bump" moment- someone with a story so moving, I know it was worth my time to make the trip.

That person was named Janet.
