March 16th is a bittersweet day in the Reyes-Chow/Pugh household. On March 16, 2021. 

Not only was this the day of the Atlanta Spa Shooting that killed eight people, but it was also the day my Father-in-Law, Rudy Pugh died. March 16th is also the birthday of my brother-in-law, Brian, who was murdered in 2008.

One bright spot was that this was also the day that @chalicemediagroup released my book, "In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World". Since then I have zoomed into dozens of book groups, met with hundreds of people, and have genuinley enjoyed gathering with people around conversations about kindness.

I am also thrilled with the sales as this is one of the ways that I make my way through the world, so thank you to all who have bought a copy no matter where you bought it. 

From Brad Lyons, Publisher at @ChaliceMediaGroup, "In Defense of Kindness has been a best-seller for Chalice since the day it was released. It’s so encouraging to know so many people are seeking out inspiration for making a kinder world! Goodness knows we need more goodness."

For all the ways to buy, rate, and review the soft cover, electronic, our audio versions visit my LinkTree 🔗 in bio.

[Final Image] This day also marks the day that I submitted the manuscript for my next book, "Everything Good about God is True: Choosing Faith" a sweeping primer on the Christian faith. This is a bohemoth of beliefs and an audacious undertaking for sure. Many more steps before it's done, but glad to have made it to this milestone.

To be released March, 2024 by @broadleafbooks.
