Finally!

My book "Sister Phoenix" is live and available for sale. Finally! It's only about a year overdue!! I was thinking about the kids this morning because it's dedicated to them. I'm happy that I finished it in time for Mother's Day-it's fitting-for one thing because it is for all women...could be by all women and certainly is about all women. There isn't one woman in the world who won't find herself in there somewhere. That's what made me decide to publish it in the first place. But I dedicated it to the kids because they are the ones who, whenever I needed a reason, they were it. When I needed to find strength, I found it in and for them. They truly have been the "wind beneath my wings." Someone was talking one day about all she's done for her children and how then treat her like this now and blah blah blah...I don't feel that my children owe me anything! They are are ones who blessed my life. I didn't do them some great "favor" bringing them into this world. But they certainlly blessed me! And they continue to do just that. All the Mother's Day smiles and cards and hugs and kisses over the years have always been so wonderful-but I always feel like it's me who should be giving them the gifts and saying thank you. I hope I can do that with this project. Hopefully, it will be just the beginning for us all. I love you kids! Thanks for being mine! It's an honor!!!!
