BELIEVE in ME

You may ask "What does the Believe in Me" on the mirror have to do with the book. Well in my own personal life I do a lot of praying and talking to God while putting my makeup on. During one of those sessions over the last 13 years of my life while talking to God about the direction I had chosen to take my life in. I felt strongly when asking Him "what now Lord?" He gently impressed those words on my heart "Believe in Me" not only to believe in Him to take care of all that I would ever need, but to also during this time to tell myself "Believe in ME" meaning I had to also believe in MYSELF, that I would be capable of getting through any tough time that would come my way. He would not fail me if I would not fail myself. I have hung on to those words many times in the course of the last 13 years of my life. It has made me who I am today. And this book is because of that. Without believing in God and myself I would have never written my experience. It has opened up a whole new world for me. One I now know was deep within me all along just waiting to jump out! Today I am experiencing a happiness I never knew would be a part of my life. Not to say that I was not happy yesterday...because I was very happy within myself & my life yesterday. But when I look at all that I have accomplished and see in the future more of my life taking this direction. I would not change a breath and do it any other way. The bad has made be better, the weak times have made me stronger and the tough times have turned me inside out & upside down to become the balanced woman I am today. Yes I still have weaknesses and down times like all of you might, but I bounce back so much quicker than before. I have become more reslient to life. I am eager see what is next for me & where that takes me. I always did have a heart for adventure & my life has been just that! Blessings to all!

COVER UPDATE

I ask you...what is so difficult about this illustration above? I can't figure it out! But the publisher has been putting me on a roller coaster ride for 6 weekns now with this picture...it appeared I would have a book without a cover for a while! It wouldn't matter....it is what is contained inside the cover that is the important stuff to me. But Pat Casella of Sewickley, PA has done such a terrific job for me on the cover that I do wish for it to be on the cover. So I persisted, which is a part of my personality that can sometimes get me in trouble. But when I believe in something I do not stop. That is how I remained married for nearly 3 decades of my life. And that is also why I kept the man I was married close to me and stayed his friend for 37 years of my life. I have known him since I was 20 years old and now at the age of 57 still hold him close but keep him at a distance because of reasons that only he and our son will understand.
The book is to go off to the printer today and the final copy will be reviewed and if it is satisfactory then it will go on sale! This is a major turning point in my life. My life has never been better (sad to say) the only other time in my life which was a landmark of happiness was my wedding day to #1 and July 13, 1977 when I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who would grow up to become the gentelest, kindness, most wise man I know today, my son who is my best friend. I am thankful to the man who is his father for this gift to me. It makes my Mother's Day all worthwhile. I have had much happiness since leaving my marriage behind. There have been many come in and out of my life bringing joy my way. But nothing will ever compare to the relationship I have with my son. So to all you Mom's out there I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day this weekend! To me every day is Mother's Day and I am proud to be a Mom! My only saddness this weekend is that my mom is spending it in Heaven with the Lord and not with us. I do so very much miss her & so does her Grandson. Happy Mother's Day Mom!

STOP BACK in the next few weeks I will reveal what the message is in the "Believe in Me" written in lipstick on the mirror!
