Pausing through the Holidays
Good Morning Everyone.
It’s currently 6 in the morning where I am, and I thought that I should go ahead and write this post.
I’ve decided to pause sales throughout the holidays for a while. And there are a few reasons why.
For starters, we had an unexpected tragedy occur at my workplace. Although it isn’t my story to really tell (maybe one day I will) but it affected me in a way to where I haven’t been able to communicate like my normal self. And I definitely cannot operate as normal. I don’t think that I am alone in writing about how we all could use a little break, and some peace.
Secondly, at the present moment protecting my peace (Thanks Eva for that line) is more important than anything. Especially since this book is very near and dear to me, and personal. It is possible that it has already happened, and I had this thought long before placing the book for sale, that it could wind up in the wrong hands. I would like to think that anyone who read the book would be moved by it, and understood that not just myself, but others have been hurt in ways that make it so you wouldn’t really want to hurt us further. But we do have feelings and everyone has a breaking point.
I always say the opinion of others doesn’t reflect on my character, but theirs. And I like to think that’s true.
Lastly, I have been a little over-booked and there is a lot going on in my work life and personal life. Mostly all good things so no complaints there. However, my focus needs to shift a little bit to fulfill some obligations first. This doesn’t mean that the story of this book is over, but what I am hoping to do is clear up some of my things before I start writing again. That’s right.
I want to write again.
I really want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and I am hoping that all those out there find peace in their lives but more importantly peace within themselves. As a whole, as women, as human beings, we really should be looking to lift each other up at this time instead of breaking each other down. That’s the true spirit of the holidays. Finding peace, joy and love.
Until next time friends,
Jess
