The Amazing Work of Art

It's a beautiful Saturday.

Houston, must be back in Mother Nature's good graces, because today it is warmer than it has been in days. There is no rain, fog, or anything to keep us from gazing upon the land just as far as our eyes were intended.

My thoughts, like most days are fighting for space in my brain, as I continue to learn balance. I am sure the thoughts are wondering which of them I will give precedence to. Hmmmmm...laundry, homework, book. HA, none, I am headed to a dinner cruise and any moment my ride will be here. Today, I will just "be".

Speaking of the book, I finally have a title for it. I will share it with the world for the first time in about 10-days, once the photo shoot is completed, the agreement is signed (legalities, etc..) and the Illustrator has the completed cover.

I look back to fall of 2009 when I began this blog. Many people, didn't think I would maintain the blog regularly; and some just heard air when I said "one day these collective thoughts will be a book". All of that is fine with me. If I weren't such the "underdog" it would not be possible to write such a "soon to be best-seller book".

I believe that when you want something bad enough (relationships, a job, education, etc...) in spite challenges, red-flags and proverbial "no's" you should exhaust ALL resources to make sure you get what you want. This doesn't cease, not even when it is uncomfortable for you. If you need to learn to communicate clearly to have better relationships: Take a class, do whatever it takes, seek help, whatever. If you want to finish college, take a class, any class, even when you "may not feel like it"............And when you want to write a book, you don't sulk and cry when the first publisher you sent your manuscript to asks these questions:

1. Does your book have a title yet?? I mean it needs a title. Who's gonna look at it without a title?
2. How does your book glorify God?
3. (wasn't listening to the 3rd question, sounded like wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa)

....And then brush you off with an unassuming, lackadaisical attitude. No, you dust yourself off and say: I want this and I will NOT stop until I get it. You push. Cry. Fall. Get back up. Push. Cry. Push. Laugh. Push. Cry. Push, until all of the no's have fallen away and the only thing statistically possible to hear is- YES

(laughing) My book Glorifies God because he made me; and the fact that I am still standing with a sharp mind, a loving heart and a real willingness to grow, learn and contribute is testimate that I AM AN AMAZING WORK OF ART.


Stay tuned people, the best, is yet to come.
