My Friend who is "Counting Cardinals"!

Do you count the number of birds that visit your feeders?

If so, do you focus on one special bird?

...Or do you count all different kinds of species?

Almost a year ago, I did a blogpost about my friend Terri Sigafus,

featuring her new children's book entitled

 "THE SHADOW MONSTER."

Terri has just released a new book...

It's called

"COUNTING CARDINALS".

What is the significance of the CARDINAL to Terri?

Terri states in a recent blog post that she feels they are

"visitors from heaven".

(Click on the link above to take you to her blog.)

In her words, Terri says "Counting Cardinals" is

"a memoir written in free verse poetry,

depicting the events that transpired in

that stillest of all summers--

the summer my mother passed away..."

This past week she sent me a copy of her newly released book,

The "free verse poetry" made for an easy style to read,

and I couldn't put it down!

I invite you to order your own copy from her website at

Timber Wind Records and Books.

In her book, you will journey with Terri

 as she shares her reunion with her estranged sisters,

and you will find out how a cardinal was used by God

to help her learn to live and laugh again 

after the heartbreaking loss of her mother!

Thank you, Terri!

I think I'll never look at cardinals in the same way again!

...I counted 9 male cardinals at my feeder!
