It is Friday afternoon and I am beat! This has definitely been a week of ups and downs. And I feel it in every bone of my body. I am amazed at how much energy you can have for something you truly care about, something you truly want to accomplish. I have been watching myself and have been continually surprised at how well I have stuck to my guns, working long after the point of being tired on reflections or recipes or layout, taking a breath and sorting out the issues with the business and reminding myself to be patient in waiting for the ISBN numbers. When I actually take a moment to reflect on myself, this journey is really showing me my own depths of determination, of passion, of commitment, of attacking problems as they arise and solving and plumbing the depths of my desire to achieve this goal. I am meeting tonight with Lesley the photographer to talk about the photos and to pick up my touched up images. Lesley often talks about how her love of photography, her dream to give up her day job in an office and pursue it full time and how she would likely do it for nothing. For the first time, I truly understand what she means. Pursuing this goal is work certainly but it certainly doesn’t feel like it. Oh sure I am tired at the end of the day but by the next morning I have boundless energy to attack it again. I am not sure if I will be successful in selling even a single copy but I am sure I will have given it my best shot. Lots to do this weekend again but feeling confident I can tackle it.
