Reciprocity

For nearly two hours last night, I had a chance to talk to another author. Not only is Michelle a friend that I’ve known for more than 20 years but she’s also written a book. I passed along my experience; as well as, I provided some insights from Herb. What I did was payback some of the indebtedness I have to Herb, as he requested.

He told me years ago that should I continue along this path, I would need to help others and I did so last night. “We’re all in this together” one of his frequent sayings can be applied to more than just writing and publishing manuscripts.

Today, November 7, 2019, I am grateful that:

I was able to rekindle a previous relationship. It was great “catching up” with Michelle. Although currently separated by nearly half the globe, we were able to converse, reminicse, and share our insights, thoughts, and feelings about past, current, and future events.

Others I’m familiar with have embarked upon the journey to publication. It’s a bit of a lonely trek but it’s rewarding. Brenda, Michelle and I’m certain others have written and will publish their works. It’s a great feeling to have confirmation via others deeds.

Abby and I hung out for a bit yesterday. Not as long as I would have enjoyed but it was still refreshing to have her present and enjoy her company.

When offered an opportunity to generate an income Abby was very interested. I haven’t worked out all the factors but I will. I’ll do my best to help her develop some self sufficiency, and I’ll help myself as well.
