What to Expect When...

Wait! Is someone expecting??

Dear Empty-Nest Joyrider,

I have exciting news!

No, I’m not pregnant, LOL! 🤣 But I am expecting a new arrival any day!

Remember all those “What to Expect When…You’re Expecting” (“…in the First Year”, “…Second Year”, etc.) books? For years, they filled our bookshelves and covered our nightstands, teaching us everything we needed to know to tackle pregnancy and parenthood with confidence.

But what about “What to Expect When You’re Empty Nesting”? I have yet to come across that title. I guess we should be able to go by intuition at this point. But wouldn’t it be nice to have some advice on expectations for this unfamiliar stage of our parenting journey?

Enter “This Reimagined Empty Nest: Stories and Poems for Moms Embracing New Chapters.” This is the book I wish I had read before and during my transition to empty nesting.

Michelle Rayburn

—author, speaker, and podcast host for Life Repurposed—has compiled writing from 22 empty-nest trailblazers, including yours truly! I am honored to be among these gifted writers whose stories and poems will encourage, inspire, and delight you. Curious? You can preview one of the chapters here.

This Reimagined Empty Nest will be available on Amazon next week, on July 24. However, as a contributor, I was able to order my copies already (that’s the new arrival that should land on my doorstep soon! 📦) I’d love to sign and send a copy to you.

You can order your signed copy TODAY on my website! (I plan to ship to my customers beginning July 24.) And, for a limited time, I am running a special deal for 10% off the list price just for my lovely subscribers. It’s not much, but just my little way of saying “thanks” for your support! 🤎 (Note: If you receive these posts by email, you’ll find your promo code below. If you subscribe and read on the app, message me for your promo code!)

While reading this book, many reflections pointed me toward my faith. Other light-hearted and funny stories made me chuckle. Wherever you are along the path of empty-nesting, you will find encouragement for your journey. Know someone entering the empty-nest life stage this fall? This book would make a great gift!

I look forward to sharing this helpful and inspiring empty-nest resource for a long time to come!

Note: Selling directly from my website is a whole new bit of craziness for me, so please bear with me if things don’t work. I spent most of a day setting things up, so if you run into any confusion or buttons that don’t work, please let me know.  Thanks!
