I have succeeded….

I have succeeded …. I told myself at the beginning of this writing journey that if one person bought the book or was inspired by what I had to say, I would be successful with the endeavour. Today I heard from another new author that she had bought my book. I was stunned, amazed, and so grateful.

Don’t worry I’m not delusional, I don’t expect to become a best selling author or become famous I just want to inspire people and give hope to those that need it. I also realize there will be people out there not ready to hear what I have to say or will not appreciate my writing style either and that’s all right.

In January of this year when I began writing Cherish the Past the words just felt right. They flowed through my mind into the manuscript. Simultaneously I was working on a second writing project which has turned out to be book two of this trilogy Live for Today. Again, the words just flowed.

In April when I suggested to my husband that I wanted to publish them he was very supportive and said go ahead. I told my boys about them, and they were excited for me! None of them questioned my ability to write ….. But I did. I had dreamt of this off and on for years but it was just a dream. Reality was it was the80′s I was a young mom of three, working full time and in college full time. I had enough to do without writing. I accepted that then, and just put the idea away.

Life has a way of moving along and now it’s 2014, I’m a grandma and my boys are grown. In November 2013 I found my hours seriously cut at work, and time on my hands so I started my blog, steiner-style. Then in January the books were started. Unfortunately in March I found my job was eliminated, and though I have been applying for work like crazy I still haven’t found anything. I now had even more time in my hands so I kept writing. My books were completed in March, and they went to the publisher.

I said to myself at the time if my words help one person be stronger or inspires them to want more and do better I will have succeeded. My blog, Facebook, and twitter all get comments from a variety of people who appreciate what I have to say, which makes sense because I post a huge variety of giggles, books, inspiration and real life.
