This little venture I am on, is quite therapeutic. I read a quote today, I'm not sure who wrote it, but it struck a chord with me.
"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself."
I am working hard on accepting myself. People that truly know me, know I have extremely low self-esteem and self-confidence.
Benji's Special Christmas Gift was originally published in 2009 and I was very uncomfortable going to book signings and asking for friends and family to purchase it. I will say, my family and friends believed in me and my book. I didn't believe in me. My insecurities got the best of me. This time, although those insecurities are still there, I am giving it my all.
Even if I don't sell a single book, that's okay. I have more to put out there and maybe, eventually, those books will sell.
I will continue on my journey, and I hope you will continue on yours. So, be beautiful, accept yourself and follow your dreams!
