A Dream Come True

Well, it's been a while since I last sat down to write a post. A lot has happened. I have received my book at last! Five hundred copies have been sitting in my dining room awaiting homes. I have enjoyed looking at all of them. Small and beautiful and powerful.

I took some time to reflect upon what has transpired over the last few months. The decision to write a book, selecting a topic, outlining and brainstorming, writing, editing, and rewriting, worrying, relaxing, have doubt and then faith in the process, facing challenges of technology and victories with uploading, tearing up seeing the cover for the first time and then finally, in print, has been a rewarding journey to say the least.

Now, I am marketing and selling books. It is amazing to me that I have gotten so far in this process that many years ago I thought was not possible. It is amazing to me how many people went out of their way to help me. I had help with editing, proofing, and listening for flow. I had support regularly to listen to my progress and when I was stuck. I had support with putting up my site that would feature the book. I've had support with selling and promoting my book.

My dream was strong, I believed I could do it and with that vision and belief, I attracted many others that would help me along the way. Today, my husband's cousin came to visit from Mexico. He's a talented photographer. He bought my book with enthusiasm and shot photos of me for future projects. I felt like Oprah Winfrey. Why? I am surrounded by people who are attracted to my dream and want to be part of it. How sweet is that?!

So I tell you this story because it never ceases to amaze me how you will be supported by the Universe if you desire, believe, take right action, and keep going. I tell you this story to inspire you to reflect on your dreams, believe in them, to act upon them, and to keep going.

Do you have a dream? Can you imagine it happening, even a little? Can you take any steps, even baby steps, in that direction? That's all you have to do. That, and keep going...you'll be amazed what happens and who shows up.
