One thing I learned from St Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei is his love for the number 3 and its multiples like 6 and 9. It reminded him of the Blessed Trinity- God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. In an uncanny way, my laundry number which identifies my clothes that are sent to any laundry bears the number 913. I interpret it as "Three in One God". This week finds me looking in an awesome way at the number 3 again. This time it is 300 and 30,000.
After a complete month after the release of the "Family Festive Menu", 300 cookbooks have been sold so far. ; 150 more are in circulation (majority good as sold but not yet in cash) and 254 copies remain in my stock room. Not bad at all. Thank you Lord. I was eagerly looking for the number 300 and we reached it this week. Ladies continue to buy and get re-orders.
Remember this book? Released and sold around December 18, 2011.
It gives a different kind of euphoria when I learn that people have been using the recipes. A good number have used them for the holidays including the last early feastdays of January. I got this photo on top from facebook from my good friends, husband & wife, Norma and Louie who tried the beef tenderloin and loved it. I guess this is how authors feel when they come across people who identify themselves with his/her work. Awesome!
Another good news is that this blog is already reaching 30,000 hits since it started recording the pageviews on May 2009. As of yesterday, it already reached 29,960. The daily hits range from 50 to 300 per day, with an average of 2,500 hits per month. Honestly, I do not know the people who are following the blog, but I thank you just the same.
My only wish is I could continue to share good things to others. Whether it be in the form of a cookbook or entries in this blog. Thank you also for technology for stretching the reach of books, articles and blog items.
