Author of a Memoir of Me -- Personalized Kid's Book http://www.memoirofme.com/

My friend bought my personalized kids book from Memoir of Me -- Personalized Books.  Her book called "Dear Connor, Love, Mommy," is an illustrated personal story about Connor and Mommy, ending with a personal love letter to Connor.  Connor asked his mom if she would read the book to his kindergarten class.  My friend told me that the kids in Connor's classroom laughed and really had a good time listening to the book about their friend Connor.  The teacher told my friend, "I want Michelle LeBow's job."

I do have a great job, but job implies that I get paid.  So far I have paid money for this job, but this job has not paid me money.  This job has paid me in the smile from my daughter's face the first time I read, "Dear Alyssa, Love, Mommy," to her and she said, "I'm famous!  I'm in a book!"  This job has paid me with the feedback from my friend that the kids in Connor's classroom were laughing as they listened to the book.  This job has paid me in awe when I hear about how the granddaughter wants to hear the letter at the end of her book over and over.

This job has paid me more in learning about myself and my passions and what I value in life.  And that is much more than any job that pays money.
