Celebrating A Slow Pace

Who said taking small steps along the way is not the pace you're meant to take? Who knows, but often times Americans get so impatient when it comes to reaching our goals and attaining our dreams. If they don't happen as soon as we expect them to, then we either try and rush them and never get to where we truly want to be or give up. I've been there, done that!

Today I'm celebrating waiting... taking time to learn what I need... waiting for the right circumstances to show before I act.
A prayer I made this week was: "God, if I'm meant to speak up about my book [to particular people in my life], then please open the door wide where I will easily be able to go through it and speak." Guess what? That next day, the door opened for me to speak to those people, where if I didn't talk, there would have been awkward silences. With these folks, that never happens as there are always others around taking their attention. To tie this to the above statements, I prayed, waited for God to create the right circumstances and acted.
I'm also celebrating:
* Going to a panel discussion to learn about promoting my work.* Going to the Christian Writers Seminar in Castro Valley last weekend and being inspired to publish a book of short stories and poetry.* Having connections to join one or two writing critique groups. The one I go to at the main library is good but very rushed because of time constraints.* Pegasus Books consigning my book. So they're at the Berkeley and Oakland stores in the Local Authors sections. I ran out of books for the Solano store, but have ordered more yesterday. I have to wait. :)
