The day I have long been awaiting is finally here. Suddenly it all seems so surreal. How did this all happen?
I know it has to be real. I mean the books were personally delivered to me yesterday, so I know it is real. Oh, the magic of tearing that first box open, seeing the book and holding it for the very first time.
I think back to the physical despair I felt when I first found that flyer in the health food store five years ago announcing a seminar on natural hormone balancing by Dr. Celia Church Goodson on September 18, 2004.
She forever changed my life on that day.
I think back to the day I decided to write a book on the content of my hormone balancing classes. It’s a good thing I didn’t have an idea of what was ahead for me. I am not sure I would have undertaken the journey.
Today with deep gratitude I think of the people who have propped me up and encouraged me when the days seemed so overwhelming and full of despair.
I just finished writing personal notes of appreciation in the inside cover for all my story contributors who helped to make Stop the Needless Suffering a reality. I am overcome with emotion as I think about each person, their special uniqueness, and yet the identical characteristic that unites them all as one – their desire to reach out and help other people by sharing their personal stories.
Stop the Needless Suffering, The Complete Woman’s Guide to Balancing Your Hormones Naturally will soon be available on my web site that is being created at this very moment: www.RosieBrownRN.com.
Now it is time to get ready for my very first book signing/seminar this evening. It feels sorta like my wedding day. What an odd feeling. A celebration of love, that’s what it will be.
As I reflect back over this past year, the one ingredient that holds everything together is love. I do believe that love is the answer. May all who read this book be touched by the love and care that went into it by so many.
Love to you always. May we work together to stop the needless suffering.
