As many of my dearest readers know, my book "The Adventures of Bugaboo & Ladybug: Up, Up, & Away" has been printed and in my hands for two weeks now. It has been at the forefront of my work these days (hence my lack of posts throughout the site). I apologize if you're looking for something new. I have visited, called, and emailed so many people throughout this venture on top of the other work and daily tasks. I am worn.
Despite the hub-bub, I still haven't quite gotten used to the fact I'm a published author. Me. It's so surreal. Wednesday I read at a local library. Two mothers asked me if I would take a picture with their children. It wasn't until after the event that I realized, I'm an author and it's cool for other people to meet me! Ha! What a trip! I'm continually told by people that they think it's so "cool" to know an author, and they actually mean me. Today, as I spoke with someone she told me I'm still surprised by it all because I'm humble. I didn't think about it that way. But I can honestly say that this entire experience has been humbling. The support from friends, family, and even perfect strangers, has been overwhelming. Charlie could attest to the amount of times that I have been brought to tears by the actions of others. Seriously, who am I that people would help me? I can't get over it. I'm so thankful and truly humbled by it all. I can't count the number of people who have said, "I'm so proud of you!" as they hugged me with smiles and squeals. Words just cannot do justice to the waves of emotions brought on by this experience. To all of you who have supported me, be it monetarily, mentally, emotionally, and any other way possible. I wish I had any way to repay the kindness you have shown me through the last year. I will never forget how God has used you to help me. And yes, you all are keeping me humble. Thank you.
