Hello everyone,
As my tour comes to an end and I sincerely plan to take a year off from touring in 2012, I reflected on the past couple of years.
Over the 20 months or so that my book has been out I have toured well over half of that time and have been to about 5 countries, over half the US states and countless cities.
Along the way I met thousands of people, sold 7,000 books, made a lot of new friends, gave talks all over North America and sufficiently exhausted myself. I'm taking some time off from traveling to get back in the gym, follow my own advice and get back into shape.
For fun, I came up with this list of some people I've signed books to along the way. There are many others to add and I'll likely update it for fun later on.
Any names surprise you or stand out? Any names you are surprised to see have been omitted from the list?
Some interesting names who I've signed books for include:
Alicia Silverstone – Actress
Hugh Jackman – Actor
Tony Robbins – Motivational Guru, Author

Thank you all for your support. Along the way we've also raised thousands of dollars for Animal Rescue, Animal Rights, Vegan and other groups and it has been a very rewarding process.
I am enjoying celebrating this book as the year comes to an end and switching focus to editing my new book due out in 2012.
