Increasing The Network

Yesterday, while running errands, I met a couple of guys from Cali. One’s been writing a novel and it’s near completion or rather, almost ready to send to an editor. I shared my experience with his with regards to the process and what I’d done. We exchanged numbers and I offered to assist in anyway I was able. We talked about cover design, publishing agreements, editors, and distribution options.

Today, Saturday, July 13, 2019, I am grateful that:

I was willing to help someone just as Herb helped me. It’s great to have someone further down the path I’m travelling and it’s my responsibility to help those who’ve not made it as far as myself.

I’m grateful Herb offered assistance. Although it’s been nearly five years since we’ve met, the friendship is going strong. I’m glad He intertwined our paths. People don’t purchase cars with great frequency and I didn’t work at that establishment long so it was His timing and no one else’s.

My phone has arrived along with my supplements. The only item absent is desire to start immediately. I’ve been contemplating a start date. I’ve thought about my birthday but I’ve yet to choose.

It’s interesting how I’ve been writing this list for months now and I’ve yet to publish any of the posts to my site. Partly because I haven’t learned how and the other part is I don’t want to take the time to learn. I’d rather pay someone that that’s what they do and alleviate me with the burdensome task of learning something I’ve no desire to learn.

Lastly, I haven’t chosen a date to start this new lifestyle as I know it’ll require me quitting smoking. I’ve had a love/love relationship with nicotine for over three decades and although I know they are standing in the way of my usefulness, I’m still reluctant to be done with them. So, my next task is to ask Him for willing to remove them, then actually to ask Him to remove them and the desire for them, along with any sense of loss. I’ve done a similar prayer and stopped for about three and a half years but this time, knowing that it’s worked before, I’m reluctant cuz I know when I ask and it’s done, they’ll be gone forever.

Be Willing. Be Impactful!
