I have decided I am going to try and fulfill my dream of being a published writer. These days it's easier than ever. On Amazon.com one can not only put their own books, but also how much they are charging for them. If that wasn't wonderful enough an aspiring author can also decide if they will sell printed copies, electronic copies, or both.
I was working out all the details in my head when the voice of doubt asked me: " Don't you think at your age it's kind of dumb to be dreaming of such fanciful ideas?" another thought was "if I don't take the chance now, when will I?" The answers were obvious.
One is never too old too old to have a dream. I believe dreams are what keep us pushing forward from one day into the next. If we stop dreaming then life becomes dull and dreary and not worth living anymore.
I also knew if I didn't push myself now I probably never would. In just a little while I will be forty two years old and I have been told for at least thirty of those years that I should be writing for the masses.
I have never been one to follow New Year's resolutions but when 2013 dawned I promised myself this is the year things were going to become different. I was tired of being the way I was and I had to face my inner demons head on if I was ever going to be who I always thought I could be.
My resolutions was to learn to accept the limitations my health has put on my life. One such limitation is even though I prefer having long hair my arms tire to easily to maintain it anymore and so as a result I had to hack eighty five percent of it off..
Before and
After.
Another resolution was to conquer my fears. Former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt once said: "I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him."
With that in mind I give you my book of an insider's view of living with the the invisible illness known as Fibromyalgia.
