I want to tell you something; not only did I write and publish my book, Sunny’s Story 2, I also funded this project totally on my own. And I am very proud of this fact. Instead of using our family income for this project, I used the money I put aside each week ($20), saving until I had enough to pay for the publishing, editing and then printing the books. And yes, it took awhile, but I did it.
It would have been a whole lot easier (on my part) if the money had been given to me, or taken from our family money and to be honest, that would have been great. But I think this way is even better. Because doing it myself has given me a sense of accomplishment and self empowerment that otherwise I would not have had.
And I took a risk when I ordered the amount of books that I did, not knowing whether when the time came if I would have the money to pay for the bill or not. But I did it anyway, knowing that I would take care of it, even if it took me longer to do so.
I remember when Frank and I were dating and then later on as newlyweds, all the risks he took to further his business and to get ahead. Many times, people told him that he was crazy to go out on a limb like that- he even heard that from the people closest to him-with the exception of me and one other. I’ve always believed in his ability to create good business. And those risks payed off. He trusted his wanting and his intuitive ability in going after his dream of being a successful business man. And he is.
I think that it is so important to believe in your dreams, the American Dream of anything is possible, if you’re willing to work for it and believe in it.
And I do. So many of my dreams have come true, and I am beyond grateful for them. As long as I am breathing, I will keep on dreaming and doing what I can to make them real. Like my latest book, ‘Sunny’s Story 2’ which turned one month old on July 22nd, my birthday.
Thank you for helping me to make this dream real!
ps. My bill came in and YES! I have the money to pay it…Whoohoo!!!
