Utilizing the Gifts

Today is a phenomenal day as usual. I woke this morning in quite a rush moving through various activities with the notion of getting everything completed NO MATTER WHAT! I focused my thoughts through meditation and continued with expressions of gratitude. As I progressed through my morning routine after Yoga I was drawn to visit a particular website. I was anxious to update this blog with the picture of the cover of my new book. After cropping and saving files I uploaded to the site.

An inside voice kept telling me to visit the Barnes and Noble site. Once there I typed the title of my book into the search box and miraculously my book came up. I started to scream and shout all while jumping around the room. I actually woke my daughter from a drowsy sleep to share in the excitement of the news. This moment at 6:28 a.m. on March 17, 2009 has a new meaning altogether different than a St. Patrick's day celebration because on this day I realized a life-long dream of becoming a published author. Now after reading countless books and stories from great like Judy Blume, Beatrix Potter, and The Brother's Grim in my early years, I too would join the ranks of a published authors whose book is available online.

Though, this is the first of many projects that I intend to share with the world these works of art will provide an opening to my heart as I let the words from inside become my guide. I sit right now comforted in the fact that I am a great contributor to the welfare and well-being of the community I serve.

Today is a great day and I am marveled inside with joy of being complete. Enjoy!
