Thanks...

The writing game has taken me places I never intended to go…
And it’s taken me places I never left…
Fifteen months ago when I plunked down my money…
I thought I would write a cute little book…
My friends and family and I would laugh about it…
Then my life would go back to normal…
I would have proven to myself…
I could write, if only a little bit…
What I didn’t know is that my words would touch people…

After my first book, I thought I would never write again…
I got from okay to great reviews…
I knew though…
I could have written a technically better book…and a few people made sure they told me…
Good thing, I don't fold easily....damn
But I also knew I could not have written one that was more from my heart…
For some reason that book has resonated with people in a way I couldn’t have imagined…
Now fifteen months later…
My baby is selling…
Better than it ever sold before…
Flaws and all…

I just want to give thanks to all who love what I do…
In whatever way I do it…
Those book clubs that continue to ask me to show up…
The girl in Wal-mart…
Who cried when she met me…
The people at work…
Who thought they knew me…
And seemed to appreciate the real me once they did…
The brothers who felt honored…cause according to them I write “The Realist Sh..”
And my family, my man, my sons…
Who never let me say never…
Just encouraged me to keep on doing…
What I was doing…
Baby…
Thanks all…
Love and Blessings
