Can I Dream Come True?

This is a question I probably shouldn't be asking right now seeing how so many have already read the book, In Between My Tears and shared that they really enjoyed it. My dream of just writing it has come true. I walked around all my adult life wanting to write my story. I tired on several occasions to write it and ending up throwing it in the trash angry and frustrated over the results. When I finally finished the book I could have danced all day. The many nights I cried about it no money wondering how could I publish a book then just taking that leap of faith and asking others and just putting what little money I had to make it happen. I wanted this book and didn't want my dream to end.

Yesterday, I had breakfast with an old friend. We'll say her name is Sandy, cute name. She has a church and I've been attending her church. I so enjoy  hearing their sermons on moving forward with your dreams. I shared with her that I had fulfilled a dream of writing my book she purchased it. I was so happy that she would do that. I didn't think she would read it only because she's so busy. She read it or some of it and told me she loved it. My heart of course leaped for joy. Then she said "Kim this book should be a movie." This I have heard from several people. She tells me that we have to do something somebody has to read this book and make it a movie. At breakfast yesterday she shares with me a story that had my heart leaping with joy.
"Kim I have good news for you. I was out of town and with several ministers and one have a publishing company. He asked me for my book and my husbands book. I tell thanks I'll be sure to send you my book but I have one book you have to have." She begin to tell him about my book. He wants one right away. Now you know I almost fainted thank God I was sitting down at the time.

My dream has come true again. I know he will love the book because so many have already shared with me that they really like the book. Sandy tells me that he's able to get the book out to more people than I could ever do on my own. The dream is growing. I want the book to encourage so many more people especially young women. Sandy keeps saying this is going to be a movie. The dream can come true.

Selling Books

My book In Between My Tears selling it online has been a challenge. I'v also found it challenging to get it publish online with amazon. I have to say even with all the challenges I'm writing it has been a joy just knowing that its completed. I love the title it just came to me like a light flash one day. When it came it gave me chills because I could feel the power of it when it came to me. Knowing that through out my young life at the time I went through a lot but in between all those dark days there were days that were filled with laughter, learning and joy. That's why I had to use that title. Many people are moved by it and I have to smile when their heads go back because I know they can relate.  In all of my disappointment of the book I'm so glad that I wrote it.
