Surreal

I would have never expected this today… what a way to end 2007 and begin 2008…

I just signed off on the final proof of Frankie’s book.  Her book is going to print!!  I am not even sure I can find the words to express how I feel right now.  This is a dream come true… a dream of which I followed my heart, not my head, but my heart.  I knew if I did not write this book I would look back and regret it… I could not let that happen.  I sit in MySpace.calm with tears rolling down my face… grateful for so many who supported me with their belief in me and this book.

A huge leap of faith is what it took… trying not to worry about the outcome, or the money, or where this will go, but knowing, just knowing, this was what I was meant to do.

Looking out onto the blanket of snow, the stillness of the cold, the life that breaths all around me… thinking of all the heart work that went into Frankie’s book and soon it will be here, in the real form of a book… it is all so surreal.

Then I look beside me as I sit at my writing desk… there she is… my little bundle of joy, the reason for me taking my leap of faith, the blessing that is my inspiration…. my little Frankie.  Thank you sweetheart for teaching me we all have challenges, but the choice to find blessings in a challenge is one of the greatest lessons you have taught me.  You are my hero….
