I am feeling extraordinarily grateful this morning...
For anothe weekend someone has asked me to show up and sell my work...
No hidden agenda...no payment needed...just come, read, have a glass of wine...sell your books...
I have to give thanks to God over and over again on this one...
When I wrote my first book and published it eighteen months ago...
I was clueless...and many who saw that hoped to horn in on my innocence...
A few tried to get their hustle on....rolling eyes and giggling....
But my stubborness, I guess and singlemindedness about what I wanted to do...allowed me to close my ears to it all, and just do what I had been blessed to do...
I don't force my work on anyone, have no expectations that all my friends will pluck down money...It aint even about that...I know the formula...
I simply have to pray, write and show up....
I am not burning up the bestseller lists...but for this sister, it was never about that...
It was about getting my words out there and having people read and appreciate them...
That has been my motto on most of my work life, show up, put in work, show them what's up...
While recognizing I am just a vessel, and as long as I pray, give thanks and praise while putting in work, I will always have something to be grateful for....
Simple math....
Love and Blessings
