Today I decided that it was time to swallow my fears and insecurities and put my words in a publishing format. It was an interesting adventure to be able to pick the selected poems for a small collection of poetry that had some meaning to me.
It was especially powerful to put some very personal poetry in the collection – ones that I have not even shared on my blog. Funny thing is that I am not even sure as to why I shared the poems on the collection – something just said “It is time!”. I swallowed the emotions and decided that I had to follow the direction I was lead to.
Right now, it is in review status and I can feel weird “butterflies” take a hold of my stomach and do magical dances inside me. I am very excited, nervous and scared to have shared my words in an actual published poetry format, even if just in kindle format..
I guess baby steps is better than no steps and I have to walk instead of just trying to fly.
But, the true reason for writing this post is to give a shout and thank you to all whom have encouraged me, supported me and listened to my poetry with an open heart.
I would also like to give a giant hug and thank you to David M. Green for the publishing information!! You helped me reach a small part of my dream..
God Bless Everyone.. Please look for my poetry book on the kindle library “Wings of Hope”.
