KEPLER’S BOOKSTORE IN MENLO PARK!
Happy Fun Fri-Yay My Friends!
I finally got word that my book RE-CREATE & CELEBRATE 7 Steps To Live The Life Of Your Dreams was accepted in Keplers Bookstore. So that’s my Yay on Friday!
It took a long while hearing back from them as they have gotten very discerning in what they accept. It’s a long process in actually marketing there and they currently only stocked one book. I also have to go through another channel to see about speaking about my book so I’m working on that as we speak. Fingers Crossed.
As with all brick and mortar bookstores, they struggle with Amazon being able to market at such a low fee which is truly sad. I for one want to keep them open. About 15 years ago this store almost closed and we rallied as a community to keep them open and we’re all so happy they are still there.
If you want to order from them to keep them afloat please go to here to order: Kepler’s Books.
While I realize you can purchase my book on Amazon and get a great deal which I’m grateful for always, you can also call or order online at Kepler’s or BOOKS INC who also carries my book. They are in Palo Alto, Calif. If you need it right away, I have 6 signed books in stock.
To date I have 35 reviews on Amazon which I’m so grateful for!
Thank you so much to Mary Doyle for her review which I’m so grateful for.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important Tool to Assist You on Your Life PathReviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023
How do you turn your dreams into reality? Cindy Gorgakas helps you figure all that out in her new book, Re-Create & Celebrate. I learned about the book by reading Cindy’s blog, “Unique Times,” and I can hear that same coaching and encouraging voice throughout this helpful book.
Re-Create & Celebrate isn’t a book to breeze through. It is one to be digested in small doses, to ponder and process.
At this point in my life, I’ve plowed through the mountains and learned how to ride the turbulent waters, so for me, the book was a tool for reflection. But for readers starting or wishing to change their paths, it can be an important guide to follow to self-discovery and finding a smoother path to your dreams-come-true.
Mary is an incredible author and just released her latest book which is a gem:
It is available here and now on Amazon where you can see all of her books available for purchase. I just received my copy and I’m excited to read it.
Wednesday I had WP issues like a lot of you where my like button wasn’t showing up in reader.. ugh. I really love my poem Messages From The Leaves. Some of you were able to get on which I was so grateful for. If you missed it I would appreciate you going there to read it. Hopefully the like button is working but if it isn’t, please let me know.
What is your Yay on Fri-Yay?
Mine is going to visit the Monarch Butterflies in Santa Cruz and the tide pools at the beach with the girls and babies. They are all tugging at my sleeve so I’ll be back as soon as I can.
Thanks for being here and have a wonderful weekending!
Smiles,
💗

Congratulations on getting into the bookstore. My local bookstores have been supportive, but frankly I’ve done better on Amazon. It’s hard to get noticed, but your friendly persona is a great icebreaker.
Thanks so very much Pete. You’re so right. It’s a tough go and if you’re looking for money eh… the margins are too low and my book isn’t going to make them oodles let’s face it. It does build community and more people visiting which is the main thing. Amazon is better and then tho they drop the price anytime they feel like it so IDK! Awww you’re sweet Pete.. Thanks and Have a happy Saturday! 💗🥰🙏🏼
Congratulations, Cindy! How cool is that?
Thanks Tim… so cool.. I’m a cool cat today.. 😹😹🐈🐈⬛😹🐈😻
Congratulations Cindy! I hope your books gets all the deserving publicity. Our call awaits
Thank you so very much Sheereen. And wondering about yours? Tag you’re it.. we can’t even manage a text convo for too long.. busyyyyyy girls are well.. Especially with Diwali
💗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💗 for you!
Haven’t publisized it much! Need to forward it to people for reviews. I know I just slept of yesterday 😓
Congratulations! I love bookstores, though they are gradually disappearing, unfortunately.
Thank you so much Phil! I do too and covet the memories of spending 1/2 a day in them. I know, it’s soooo sad so I like to support them and encourage them for as long as I can. ❤️💗💕
Congratulations, Cindy!!
Joanna
Thank you so much Joanna💕
Congratulations, Cindy! And a great milestone with 35 reviews too!!. That is awesome. Way to go!!
Thank you so very much Suzette. I always appreciate your support. Yes, one at a time we chip away. 🤲🏽 You’re the best. Happy Sat-Yay now.. xo 🥰💕💞
You are amazing Cindy! Much love to you!
Awww thanks so much, Dearest friend💕
Blessing!
Cindy, congratulations on getting your book in Kepler’s! Hope your trip to the tide pools and to see the monarchs was an enjoyable one! It sounds like a wonderful place to visit! <3
I read about the monarchs on the website you sent. I didn't know before that the toxins in milkweed are absorbed by caterpillars and give them protection from predators, even as adults. Isn't nature amazing?!! <3
Thank you so very much Cheryl! It’s the small wins which matter most. It is really a big win to get in there….now to sell them… that’s another story.
We had the best time and Love the time with the babettes. They were sooooo happy even on the car ride.. whew 🤲🏽
That is soooo fascinating for sure and I couldn’t read a lick so thanks for pointing it out. Nature is incredible for sure.
Hugs❤️🙏🏼💗
Congratulations, Cindy 🎉
A wonderful review shared.
Wishing you a great weekend 🤍🙏🌹

Bravo on getting your book in Keplers and on your reviews! Wonderful! 🎉 Best wishes on future speaking engagements.
Thank you so very much Michele! Small wins are good to get and I’m most grateful. Have a beautiful Saturday, my friend💕❣️.
You are welcome, Cindyloo! Seems more than a small win! 😊🙌🏻 Thank you, you too! 💕
Oh thanks tons! Will do too sweet Michele mi Belle! 💕💗💕
Oh, the promotional side of the job!!! It’s gotta be challenging, but this is definitely good luck. Happy to see your hard work payoff Cindy. 🎉🎉🎉
As you know Brian, it is the hard part of the job for sure and I thought it was just in the writing. But yes, chipping away and taking the small wins is what life’s about. You’re most kind and I appreciate your support❣️
I love this ending, Cindy:)
“Mine is going to visit the Monarch Butterflies in Santa Cruz and the tide pools at the beach with the girls and babies. They are all tugging at my sleeve so I’ll be back as soon as I can. ”
How lucky can one be..? Take your time (* she shouts after you:) and such an illustrious day… your book placed in “Keplar Books” on this Fri-Yay Funday…Wooo Wooo enjoy it all dear Cindy
Awww me too and it was a spectacular day Karima, thanks so much. The babies did amazing on the long drive and we had a lovely day and ended with lunch on the beach. No doubt I’ll share pics but my one daughter is deciding if I can post her or not or just wants her daughter to have a private life.. so we shall see. 🤪
I know I was delighted with that.
Thanks so very much my friend. Happy Fri-Yay to you!!! ❤️💞💗💕🌈
Wow, if you only have 35 reviews, I’m a little ambitious at hoping for 100 in the first month! LOL That was the magic number my project director gave me. It’s going to take a month to iron out the kinks. Best of luck on moving forward with your book and your poetry! You rock!
Oh man Marsha, that sounds like a lot but then I haven’t looked at it or gotten any information like that from my editor so I’m clueless. That’s amazing. I guess I just chip away at it. Got your book yesterday. Love the big print and the cover is awesome!! 💕🤲🏽⭐️ Hooray for you. Here’s my 100 star review. Did I get them all? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You are so awesome, and only a little goofy. That’s why I love you! 🙂
hahhaahaha. 😹🐈⬛
I think that’s a compliment! Thanks my friend
💗
Very much a compliment! 🙂
Whew.. 😅😅
Happy fun Friyayyy!!! Congratulations , Cindy. Happy to hear that your book is circulating nicely. Wonderful. 💕
Thanks Dear Grace and happy Sat-Yay now to you my friend. Thanks so much. It is nice to have it received so well. Yay.. xo 💗🙏🏼
Truly my pleasure. Much success.💕🙏💕
💗🙏🏼💗🙏🏼
Woohoo, that’s amazing! Always happy for your wins 💓💓
Thanks so much.. Small wins are what we have to take.. xo 💗🤲🏽🙏🏼
Exactly!
We take them how we get them❣️
Oh wow, how awesome is that my Energizer G’mama? Dawwwwlinkkkk, you are on a roll and I am so lovin’ it. Bravo girlfriend. Keep soaring Big Mama! So proud of you! 🥰🙏🏽🤗💖😊
Thank you so much Kym Dawwwwlink!!! It’s me alright.. you’re such a great cheerleader!! Hugs and love. Grateful for your appreciation and support always 🙏🏼💕
Always my dear Energizer G’mama! You are so very welcome. Just don’t forget to take care of you dawwwwlinkkkkk! Hugs and smooches sweetie pie! 🥰💖😘
Great reviews on Amazon, Too!
Thank you so much for noticing that Jacqui! So much appreciated💕🙏🏼
Congratulations on making another step by getting your book into the book store, Cindy. And thank you so much for the call-out!!. What a nice surprise.
Thank you Mary and you are so very welcome. I was happy to share the news💕
Congratulations, Cindy. Best of luck with Kepler’s Books. Book stores are unique little hide-outs for people like us, so I think it’s admirable to want to keep them open. Have a good weekend, friend. 🙂
Thank you so much Mike. I really appreciate that. They are great hideouts. I think it’s plugging away a little bit at a time. I buy a lot of books and love browsing. Getting through reading them is another story but I’m happy to support authors. I will and you have great one as well 💕🙏🏼
Yay! Great news indeed Cindy. I think marketing a book is as difficult or maybe more difficult as writing it. All the best for future endeavors.
It’s really true Sadle! You just keep plugging away! I really appreciate it!! 💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
You’re most welcome my dear friend.
Wow incredible, Cindy!
Thank you so very much🥰
Best place to be, isn’t it 😍😍😍

Ah, marketing. My least favorite aspect of book publishing. Grin. But you seem to be good at it. Congratulations. –Curt
I know right?! I do my best but dropped off so much from my usual get up and go promo I was hoping for with all the interruptions (good ones for sure) or saviors Curt.. 😹🥰
Thanks a lot. 💕
Seems like there is never enough, regardless…
So awesome they’re carrying it now. 👏🏻 🌹😃
Thank you so much Michele. Much appreciated!!! 💕🙏🏼
Congratulations, Cindy! That’s awesome your book was accepted by Kepler’s Bookstore! 💖

Happy Saturday… Yay💕
🤩
Bought a copy from Keplers yesterday. Looking forward to read your book.
Wow, seriously? I’m soooooo touched.
Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. I do hope you like it Edward.
Keep me posted. 💗🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Absolutely and I’ll definitely post a review once I finish reading it. Hopefully Keplers will ask you for more copies soon. 😃
I so appreciate that Edward. You are most kind. Where do you hail from?
I’m from Puerto Rico, the Army took me around the world for the last 24+ years, and finally decided to live in the Quad Cities (Illinois side) now that I’m retired.
Congratulations on getting into that bookstore!!
Continued success on marketing your book! I will be posting my review tomorrow.
Blessings!
Thank you so very much Anna Star!!! 🙏 I am always grateful for your words and support. Oh wow, I can’t wait to read it-;)
Thanks so much!!
💕
Huge congrats Cindy! A wonderful achievement 🤩 💖
Thank you so much Ingrid!

Its great, Cindy. My sincere congrats, thanks.
Thanks so very much J M💕
Congratulations!!!! So happy for you.
Thanks so much Belladonna!!!💕
You’re welcome!
Congratulations, Cindy, on all your book achievements.
Thanks so much Robbie. Not sure why I am so behind. I had to resubscribe, Did you change something?
💕
No, nothing is different. I am having some problems with WP and commenting though. Lots of bloggers are complaining 🤷♀️
Congratulations, Cindy! 🎉Your journey to get there is truly inspiring. I’ve always said the love and effort you’ve poured into your book are reflected in the positive reviews, like Mary’s.
What a magical way to celebrate! 💖
Thank you my dearest Ritish! I’m honored by your words. Thanks so very much! Hugs and love. Hope you had a great Diwali!❣️⭐️💗
Yeah, it was great. Much love 💕
💗💕💗
Congrats Cindy on getting your book in a brick and mortar. Here where I live, my bookstore chain wanted me to buy my own books, put them there on consignment, and all returns are on me. No thanks. Good on you though! Hugs <3
Thanks so much Debby. Yes, I know many of them are on consignment nowadays, I hear you and don’t blame you a bit for not wanting to deal with that. I wouldn’t either. We’re in challenging tines these days with bookstores sadly. 💕
And sadly, you are right. 🙁 <3
Yes, Keep bookstores going!
Congrats on your book being part of that, Cindy!
I use my local library a lot.
I’ve been boycotting Amazon going on 10 years now.
The odd book I buy on line is from Kobo.
Again, CONGRATS, Cindy!
Thank you Resa! I so agree and I’m honored to be part of that. That’s awesome that you use the library. Wow, I applaud you with Amazon is at everyone’s fingertips. Good to know at Kobo.
💕💕💗🌹💗
I’m grateful for your visit and excitement for this win.
x💗🌹💗o
Love seeing your book makes it way out into the world and onto bookstore shelves! That is truly a Yay for Friday! 💝
Thank you so very much Layla! It really was fun to see it there. 💗
Great to hear you got your book in Kepler’s Book Store.
Thanks so much Dwight!! ❣️
You are welcome.
Happy for you dear friend!!
Keep smiling CiGe
Cindy, perhaps you might want to think about adding the bookstore link on my blog. Lord willing, I am retiring on February 29, 2024, and will be purchasing all books listed. http://tangietwoods.blog/2023/10/14/writers-helping-writers-annual-blog/
