Nothing is for nothing.
I did not fail.
I learned, I connected, I grew.

Last month, I attempted to raise a large amount of money to print my children’s book. I managed to raise a large amount of money, but not the goal amount. The platform runs on an all-or-nothing premise, so all of that money was refunded to my beautiful supporters.

I failed, says Past Me. My manic attempt at marketing a new book as a writer without a social media following was for nothing.

But I made so many new connections with mothers near and far. I was moved to tears by support from people from my past I had no idea read and enjoyed my words. I formed the most beautiful relationship with an incredible artist on the other side of the world. I walked away from my 30 day campaign zero dollars closer to making my book, but much more full of confidence in my dreams for it. It will be here, in my hands and yours, very soon.

For now, I keep writing. I keep searching for the most authentic ways to connect with you, my reader, and I accept my calling to bring healing and beauty to your heart as I create it in my own with the words flowing through me.

Thank you for being here.
