Yesterday, a dear friend, Eric, came over to help me with some of the challenges of my websites. I had been feeling overwhelmed by what needed to be done, and here it is, nearly December and my books have not been marketed at all. So, after viewing both of these sites, Eric reminded me that the content was definitely there, and I simply needed to appreciate the books that were already posted.
So, after a deep breath, I was able to view my sites through new eyes of appreciation. Eric reminded me that it was only my ego that was stressing me out. And he was right. In the past, I have not valued Christmastime, it’s only added more things I need to do. But when he reminded me that this is a season of Peace and Love I was finally able to put my hand on my heart, breathe deeply, and release the tension.
It was also a huge lesson in valuing what I have already written.
I ask you, dear reader, have you discounted what your writing offers to others? Have you taken time to see what you have already done, and to value it? Your writing comes from a deep place within you and has probably taken many hours of precious time to complete a book — so isn’t that worthy of your appreciation? I think so. I hope this little piece today will remind you to be grateful for what you have written. And to keep on writing.
I just want to say how grateful I am for a good friend like Eric. Now, I can enjoy this season of Peace.
