Friends! She’s here!!
In the same way writing a book feels a little like growing and delivering a baby (ring of fire and all), announcing it feels a little like showing said baby off. You’re running on adrenaline and want to jump up and down, and exhausted all at the same time. You want to scream it from the mountaintops, and fear you’ll be guilty of inundating people’s feeds with photos of your newest addition. But then again, you don’t really care.
So just go with it. And then go snag yourself a copy from Amazon!
While I was jazzed about my first book, I’m absolutely psyched out of my melon about this one. There’s something really special about what God did in my heart in and through this journey.
I’m feeling all the feels…excited, hopeful, anxious, thankful, nervous, proud. Overwhelmed.
I’m giddy because the time has finally arrived to share it with the world! This little book baby that’s cooked for almost two years, has had a fast & furious delivery (I wrote it in 7 weeks), and has been cleaned-up and loved on by such a sweet tribe of people.
I’m a little anxious because whenever you offer up your creative work you feel exposed and vulnerable. Also, I hate sales and I loathe self-promotion. I worry that this celebration of hard work is annoying to some and off-putting to others…but I’m learning to care less about the critics everyday, and choose rather to focus on what God has put in my hands so He can honor what He’s put in my heart. It’s His baby any way.
I’m thankful for my tribe, my team, my people. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for those women who have walked alongside me through the incubation process of this book, and for my incredible launch tribe who’ve helped champion the ‘birth’. And for my hubby who survived another book…and who still likes me.
I’m hopeful because I truly believe in this project. Truly, truly. I’m really proud of this project and I wholeheartedly believe that through it souls will be stirred, seeds will be planted and fires will be started.
Bring it on!
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this fun new project…because I wrote it for YOU!
