CONGRATULATIONS  WILLIAM !!!


MWS would like to extend a very sincere congratulations to our own Project Manager, William Fox.  Our Project Manager has been promoted from Mid-Management to Executive status at one of the oldest and well established publishing houses in New York City (and really in the country).  William is now Director of a division at the "house" that produces approximately %70 of the revenue for the entire company!

Employed at the company for fifteen years, William has worked his way up from an entry level position to Executive status because of an incredible work ethic, tremendous loyalty, dependability and not to mention a bit of sheer brilliance...hee hee!  

MWS is so very proud of William and truly feel honored to have him as Project Manager/advisor/confidant/creative consultant and visionary on this once in a lifetime project.  To tell you the truth everyone, without William this project would have never gotten off the ground, much less been completed.  It is because of the vast experience and direction which William provides, that this project heads towards the final stages of completion.  The next phase (shopping the project in NYC) will be the most challenging and grueling phase of the entire project.  With William directly involved and believing in the project whole heartedly...we move forward.  Believe me ladies, when you get an email, advice, and/or direction from William know that he IS the expert in the publishing world and is ultimately responsible for getting the project published...so be confident in his directives.

Congratulations William...we are very, very proud of you!!!  :}

There will be an update on the project in a couple of days...so expect another alert.  Enjoy fall everyone!

I have purposely waited months to write this update as I wanted to be absolutely sure about our plans, goals, and intentions for the future.  Now, I am sure.

Just a few short weeks after our show in downtown Salem last October, I literally collapsed.  The bizzaaarrr drama at Salem State really pushed me over the edge...my body just could not handle me pushing it to the brink any longer.  After months of appts, with drs, specialists, multiple tests...all my medical professionals are on the same page...FINALLY!

I have fought this demon dragon for eight long years and go into FINAL battle next week.  Of course our Project Manager (and luckily my Prince of a son) will be here for several weeks to take care of me and the animals...I am soooo lucky.

We had planned to attend the largest convention of publishers, authors, etc., etc., in May at NYC, however, it certainly looks like I won't be able to attend this one, DANG IT!  BUT...as I learned years ago, I am not the driver only the vehicle regarding MWS project..."she" has a life and mind of her own and I learned the hard way not to buck her, just go with the flow.

As of now my full and complete recovery has to be the focus until I am back to normal and mobile...a few months at best.  Believe me when I am stronger, the Team and I will be hitting the ground running, promoting, selling, and exploring every opportunity in NYC to get this book published.  It has been a long and absolutely fascinating road (I could definitely write a book about the shoots alone) and one that the Team and I feel honored and privileged to be a part of.

I will be posting again in a few weeks keeping you all updated on my progress and our plans for the future.

Those involved and participating in The Mystic Women of Salem project, have a future so bright that we GOTTA WEAR SHADES...(I suggest we start wearing them!).

Love you all,

Saturday night at the MWS show was again a great time and turn out.  I had so many of my "adopted" kids from SSU come!  I just couldn't believe so many of them came...there was Sarah, Sammi, Sam, Teresa, and several more.  Some of them I had gone thru my first semester with and they had already graduated and gone on with their busy lives.  Then I had one of my all time favorite "couple kids" , of the adoption persuasion, that drove all the way from out-of-town to surprise me.  I had not seen them in years and was truly overjoyed when I saw them walk in!  Love you both, Kenny and Lisa!!!  Thank you so much for dealing with the October Salem crush for me.

Of course our host Loki was there being his charming self which I so appreciated.  The flow of people came in waves on this night, giving me the chance to breathe and to rest a bit in between.  The fall nip was in the air so we dressed warm and cozy as we had the doors open to the shop so people could walk in freely.

By this date two thirds of the Mystic women had come to see their portraits...and all were very pleased.  The public was encouraging and awe struck.  I heard words like...inspiring, empowering, mystical, magical, original, looks like paintings, and beautiful was the most used adjective during the night.

By 9 pm William (project manager) had loaded much of our original equipment in the truck.  Due to lighting issues we were not able to create the atmosphere and ambience that was originally designed. However, this is par for the course when dealing with MWS in any fashion...Freyja always takes over and lets me know without a doubt who is REALLY in charge!
