Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, today is my birthday. It's been a really great day! I started out with church, came home and hung out with my family, baked a pumpkin cake, and just chilled. I also allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted! Oh, I also submitted Outlaw to Harper Voyager publishers. Exciting times, I tell you!

All day long, people have wished me a happy day. I'm so grateful for awesome friends! But you know, I think I got my big birthday present that simply cannot be topped back in July when I won that writing contest and soon turned into a published author. It was the realization of a lifelong dream. When I started down this path, I said I wanted to be published before I turned 40. God did it a year early! (Yes, do the math...you can figure out how old I am.)

I'm just a few days away from my first official book signing. I can't wait! I'll post about that after it happens. I'm sure I'll have all kinds of terrific stories to share!

This really has been a stellar year, which amazes me because the last couple of years kind of stunk. It just goes to show, as my husband is fond of saying, "It came to pass." God has rich blessings in store if we just hang on. Take it from me.

Blessings and joy to you!
