Hopeful Anticipation

Later tonight(technically tomorrow) I’ve got a conference call with Crystal. She’s a subject matter expert in an area of interest. I’m looking forward to the call as I’ve been casually working in her area of expertise yet been unable to decipher the training provided in the program I purchased. Should the program be correct and her knowledge pertinent it’ll allow me to generate an income remotely. The ability to work wherever there’s a reliable internet connection will prove invaluable.

Interestingly enough, she and I hadn’t spoken in more than a year. After the death of my parents many friendships went astray. Either through lack of communication, differences in thoughts of beliefs, or time constraints more than one relationship has been soured. Most amicable but relationships have been strained.

Some relationships are able to withstand tragic times and circumstances better than others.

Today, Saturday, December 21, 2019, I am grateful that:

Hope is on the horizon. The possibility of remote income generation brings about a sense or assurance. I’ve nearly reached my bottom(with respect to finances) so an opportunity to generate an income, aside from literature sales, has me delighted.

Mike and I had a more insightful conversation about Fritz. Brothers-in-law Mike shared about Fritz’s character and work ethic. He did his best to convey Fritz’s willingness to perfect his craft and a desire to create impact artwork and assist me in my development of imagery for my publishing company and literature.

More and more concepts for books and content generation are manifesting. I’m happy to write and it’s as if it’s what I was meant to do yet my thoughts are on income generation and the ability to be self sustaining. Every book sale generates a royalty or commission but that income isn’t received for at least two months sometimes a bit longer. In my current financial state, without outside assistance, I’ll deplete my funds within four or five months. Should the books not perform well my situation could become dire. Although I’m willing to do “whatever it takes” I’m quite satisfied I’ve learned the lesson of setting and maintaining a financial bottom and do not wish to have that experience once more.

Doing what needs to be done despite my feelings allows me to - Be Great. Be Grateful.

What are you doing?
