I'M PUBLISHED!!!

I am amazed! Excited! BLESSED!

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.

But should I be surprised, knowing that the promise of Psalm 37:4 applies to me?

Beyond my desire to serve Him, have a loving, Christian husband, children and grands to bless my days, I have several other desires God has fulfilled.

My children's book, On the Way to Cape May, has been published!!!!

Thinking about this adventure has brought to mind a few thoughts.

I am sure I will not become a millionaire and I am fairly certain that my book will not make the NY Times bestsellers list. BUT....

I have left a tangible legacy for my kids and grandkids.

I am having a blast promoting my book.

I am reuniting with old friends and making many new ones.

I am sharing faith, family and patriotism as well as whimsy and humor in On the Way to Cape May.

I am introducing NJ and some of its many attractions to my readers.

BUT here is the biggie, to me:

Call it my "dream" or my "bucket list". Here I am at 60, a published author.

Have you looked at your list or dreams lately? Your Bucket List?

GO FOR IT! You can do it. And email, call me, post or shout it out. I want to hear that you are reaching for your goals & dreams.
