A few years ago, in the pre-Covid world, I threw myself a birthday party.
I invited some lovely friends to come over. We sat in a circle on puffy pillows. We had rainbow-colored confetti cake. It was a pure delight.
At that party, my friend Heidi met my friend Lindsey for the first time.
Heidi is a poet and astrologer. Lindsey is a literary agent, runs her own book publishing company, and happens to be my business partner too.
These two women bonded instantly.
After the party, they stayed in touch & Heidi shared her ambitious dream:
"I want to write a series of 12 books. 1 book for each sign in the Zodiac. A book of love letters for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and so on," Heidi told Lindsey.
"Love it. Obsessed. Let's do it," replied Lindsey.
Lindsey had a strong gut feeling that this was a brilliant idea. She offered Heidi a book deal through One Idea Press, the publishing company that she founded.
...Fast forward in time through the cosmos...
Today, Heidi's collection of books are a smash-hit success. Numerous lives have been touched by these beautiful creations. Now, there's a spin-off stationery line of astrological greeting cards as well.
...And...
*drumroll*
...Heidi got invited to appear on We Can Do Hard Things, Glennon Doyle's podcast. Yes, that Glennon. Author of the #1 NY Times Bestseller Untamed, an incredibly moving book with more than 2 million copies sold. The episode dropped yesterday.
So much magic has unfolded!
Books, more books, cards, a podcast, and more.
It all started with a conversation between two strangers at a birthday party.
