Tested!

I often wondering how many road blocks are still to come. After 2 yrs of working his you know what off, the company that gave him the highest reviews let him go. Yes my hubby lost his job and we are once again s t r u g g l i n g!!! What else is new?

I know God is once again testing us to see how well we handle this set back. Even though I'm writing the words if something doesn't come in for him we'll probably be sleeping in our car. It sometimes gets to the point where I want to give up on this dream of mine and just go out and get that 9 to 5 but something deep inside takes over and I just can't settle, AND I WON'T!!!!

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!! Pray for us!!!!!

I'm the blame this time...

I know the last time I posted I was faced with my photographer cancelling on me. Well, since then and since the rescheduling of the new shoot on May 12th, that was cancelled as well. He opted to go Golfing instead...I suppose that's what I get for trusting and hiring family to do me a favor. Which it wasn't even me who asked, he (my husband's uncle) volunteered. Anyhow, since then I've just been sitting around moping, not getting anything done. Consumed by the disappointment, depressed. And knowing that I need to get at this my website completed by my own deadline of June 1st. I tend to get very lazy and disconnected with what I need to do to get this book done when I'm faced with another set-back. I'm so tried of this whole process, but I can so see the beautiful outcome that's right in front of me, I can't stop anymore even though I have no photographer to do the book cover photo. And even if I found one I can not afford it right now. We are so far in debt it's very scary! I feel helpless, and hopeless!

Calling on a miracle...

I've been working on my cookbook for about 6 years now and it's not all been non-stop. I'm the biggest procrastinator I know and now that I've gotten the biggest headache out of the way (my self-publishing fee) I have an even bigger one I'm facing. I'm trying to get all the last minute things in order so that I can submit all my documents and photos to my publishing company so my book can go into production by the end of this month. I know I can do my best work under pressure but am I fooling myself, can I really learn Indesign and layout my book, retest/reorganize all 30 of my recipes, and take all my food photo as well as the book cover photo in 29 days? I pray to God I can...hints the title "Calling on a miracle." Wish me luck!
