AIM… Hello, loyal AOI readers! “Where in the world have you been?” I heard that a lot during the absence of my weekly messages. Honestly, my radical sabbatical came from a divine order to follow a dream. One day I’m writing inspiration for you, the next day I get connected with another writer and SHAZAM! We’re off and writing a book together! So, all this time I’ve been working on a book with another author and several contributing authors and trudging through the details of getting our book published, etc. The happy announcement is that our book is published and is available in paperback or online as an e-book! WOO HOO! Talk about a labor of love!
Personally, I have been told many
times that I would one day write a book…or at least, I should write a book. That dream laid dormant in my heart for many
years. There would be times when I’d
walk by the book store and wonder what it would be like to see a book on the
shelf with MY name on it. When the opportunity presented itself for me to
pursue my dream, it exploded like a firework on the 4th of
July! So many elements fell right into
place. My co-author and I had never met
before and after one connection by a mutual friend, our creative sparks
ignited. Our words and stories flowed
into multiple pages of inspiration. The
publisher was able to jump several hurdles she had never encountered before
through the process of getting our book in print. It was all divinely appointed and directed
and the evidence is my dream, our dream, come true as the final product to
share with you.
So, what are you dreaming about
today? Are there desires deep down in
your heart that you would love to see come to pass? Perhaps, it’s not quite time for them to be
fulfilled…yet. However, what you cannot
see are all the preparations that are going on behind the scenes of your life
plan. Maybe you recognize an opportunity
to take a leap of faith and jump one step closer to making your dream come
true. Wherever you are on that path and
whatever you are thinking about today, may you look to the future with great
anticipation. Exciting things are
happening and I simply cannot wait to hear all about them and cheer you on!
FIRE! Take just a few moments to jot down a couple
things you’d like to accomplish in your lifetime. (Some people call it their personal bucket
list; others call it their dreaming list.)
Whatever you call it, commit your desires to paper and put it where
you’ll be reminded of your goals on a regular basis. As your dreams come true, write “VICTORY” on
your list and then look forward to your next moment of fabulous success.
Be Excellent!
